First half of X360s life was pretty bad with the whole RROD thing. That's was strike one.

Strike two came with the, imo, extreme focus on the FPS genre.

Strike three came with the Kinnect,

 

PS3 are more focus on shooters genre then the 360. KillZone, Resistance, MAG, Socom are all 1st party games. Halo and Perfect Dark is the only Xbox 1st party franchise.

OT. I agree that beside Nintendo, Japanese games are pretty horrible. When did a movie like MGS4 consider a video game? FF XIII and FF XIII-2 were alright but not great. Street Fighter 4 was great but Crapcom milked it.

I think you forgot Gears of War. Anyway, first party games don't really matter to me in that case. Really it was the glut of that genre in the beginning. It's changed overtime, but my original bias is still there. Since I bought all the non-FPS  multiplat games on my PS3 in the beginning I still do now. Im 'invested' in the PS3 in terms of games and trophies, the only thing I would use my X360 for would be exclusive shooters.

So mabye I should remove strike two.
