You're making assumptions that Spartan is telling him to buy a PS3 for the future games, you're also assuming that the games currently out forthe PS3 don't justify its purchase. Which is a round about way of getting in the old "PS3 has no games" jab, which is simply not true. I own a PS3 for the games that are on it right now, and am perfectly happy with my purchase. Don't assume that because you can't find a good reason amongst the current games to by a PS3 that noone can.

Also a little above you said that you hear about more PS3's failing than 360's failing, and you know that's because there are more PS3 owners on this forum then there are 360 owners, which you failed to mention.

It wasn't much of an assumption.  Spartan attacked the notion of buying a 360 because Banjo "might" be good and then failed to list a single PS3 game in the post.  I don't think anybody reasonably argues that the PS3's library matches the 360's one at this point.  And given the extra expense of the system, thats something to take into account. 

I actually hadn't thought of the possibility that there are more PS3 owners on these forums (though looking at this thread, dolla's thread and soriku's latest thread, there are a lot of non-vocal 360 owners).  But that doesn't change the fact that even when I bring it up PS3 owners cant point to a recently manufactured 360 thats broken down.  Early 360's saw a high failure rate early on. 

 

 This link says around 10%.
