The X360 games library is the main advantage X360 has over PS3. The PS3 has yet to see a huge block buster exclusive game that rivals Halo 3, Gears of War 1&2 in regards to popularity and 5 million+. GT IV is the only game on PS3 that has reached the 5 million game milestone. Gran Tursimo 5 and Final Fantasy XIII still are way off from launching on PS3. PS3 has MGS 4, Uncharted, Kill zone 2 and soon God of War 3 but none of them have a chance of notching 5 million sales ltd.

The main advantage the PS3 has over X360 is the hardware reliability. Reports indicate only 2 to 3% of PS3s breakdown. However X360 hardware reliability has significantly improved over time with new models failure rates reported to be under 10% failure rates.
