The 360 is doing very well in the Americas where the shooting games attract the shooter fans to the 360 console. Gears of War 2 will be big at the end of the year. I believe getting both a PS3 and the 360 would be the best thing to do if your a hardcore gamer. PS3 for the Sony exclusives and the 360 for the 360/PC exclusives and they can be both played on a HDTV of over 40 inches and above preferably Plasma. Upgrading a PC every 6 months or having to buy a new PC rig is way to costly for the average person.
