We can joke all we want about whatever and throw opinions around until we're all blue in face, but I know there's one thing true for me: whenever there's a multiplayer multiplatform game out, everyone I know that has a PS3 and 360 gets it for the 360.
In games that are virtually identical or even in cases with something like Red Dead Redemption where the PS3 version is better (free DLC) and people consistently pick the 360 version there has to be a reason for that.
Lets look at Red Dead-- the PS3 version may be technically inferior but it's something that is completely insignificant. You may be able to tell 640p vs 720p when side by side, but people don't play the game side by side so it doesn't matter. They're essentially the same there. The PS3 version does have free DLC though.
So we must assume the PS3 version is better.
I happen to have a pretty big sample of hardcore gamers who are all big into multiplayer and who all own a PS3 and 360. Knowing the PS3 version is better, they should all get the PS3 version, right?
I know a good twenty people that bought Red Dead and I don't know anyone that got the PS3 version.
Again, there has to be a reason for that. Every single one of those people decided that $30-50 a year is worth it because every single one of them consistently buy the multiplayer games for the 360 over the PS3. This example is not limited to only Red Dead, the same (or really close to it) rings true for every major multiplayer multiplatform game.
That reason can be a number of things. I don't know exactly what it is and I don't know if it's the same for everyone but I know it must be significant. That's what matters.
