No such luck!
I don't see how there could be a thread about such a topic with no mention of the Wii. Fact is, PS3 and 360 are not competing with each other so much as they need each other - combined they offer a much larger userbase to developers.
However, you are still right that competition has made a great generation
Nintendo was facing very fierce competition before this gen, and as a result they have produced many of the best games in the companies history, and as a result the Wii was competition for the PS360. This competition has resulted in many things that are good for gamers, such as
1 - Price wars - price cuts of consoles and moneyhatting games = good for consumers
2 - Move and Natal - awesome for gamers
3 - Incredible 1st party efforts
