Should I get the PS3 or a 360?

I think I am pretty unbiased. For sports I think 360 has marginally better, but it is down to the controller- whichever one you like better.

FPS 360 is the way to go, though PS3 has a couple good ones- resistance and CoD4 are both really good. Platformers each console is trying to have a good flagship

Platformer, and SMG on Wii is by far the best. Rachet and Clank on PS3 is also good, but has shooter elements. Banjo Kazooie on 360 isn't out yet but should be somewhere between ok to phenomenal (I bet it will be very good)

RPGS for console 360 is hands down the best this gen, though PS3 is getting FF13 and may get a few more, and if the tide turns there is a chance Wii will end up the winner in RPGS. 360 is the best now though, and more are coming, such as Star Ocean 4 and Tales of Vesperia. With Mass Effect and Elder Scrolls, 360 is the Western RPG champ. (PS3 also has elder scrolls)
If you are looking for SRPG, PS3 is a better choice though. A few good SRPGs are coming out this fall for PS3 (one is Disgaea 3)

Overall 360 is the best choice, but PS3 isn't bad, and Wii is a bit of a gamble, but should be sufficient and could possibly be the best choice in retrospect. I recommend Xbox 360.
