Wikipedia is not the best source.....

It counts 2009 games and games which aren't even announced/confirmed.

 

By the way. From those wikipedia lists I've counted:

 

420 PS3 games; 194 of them aren't released

106  PSN  games; 34 of them aren't released

556 360 games; 166 of them aren't released

270 XBLA games; 97 of them aren't released

_________________________________________

Current available games:

PS3:226

PSN:72

360:390

XBLA:173

Xbox360 has FAR more games. (Simply look at my posts in this thread)


BOTH have same graphics on HD
BOTH in the long run cost the same (If you pay for Live forever it adds up to the PS3)

he hasn't interest in online gaming, so the 360 is FAR cheaper (no wireless needed, no Gold account needed)

PS3 has Blu-ray
Xbox 360 has DVD

PS3 = free online
Xbox 360 = Not free online

again irrelevant

PS3 = Home
Xbox 360 = XLE (Xbox Live Experience)

it's called NXE (New Xbox Experience)

PS3 = Playstation Store
Xbox 360 = Xbox Live Marketplace

PS3 = silent
Xbox 360 = Hoover

not with the new models

PS3 Models include: 80GB + 160 GB
Xbox 360 Models include: 256MB + 60GB + 120GB

Hardware Compatibilites:

PS3 = PSP- Able to use as a controller also able to play games via PSP anywhere in the world using the PSPXbox 360 = N/A

What's wrong with that ? You still pay with money. It's actually a pretty good system, because you pay always exactly the same price no matter where you live.

No he hasn't

That doesn't make ANY sense.

PS3 pros: Excellent exclusives, Blu-Ray, Built-in WiFi, Free online, Built-in Hard Drive (and the ability to upgrade at a much cheaper cost).

360 pros: Excellent exclusives, Half the price, Gears of War, Backward Compatible, (cables and headset included), portable hard drive

 

 



I'll give you the reasons I got a PS3.

1) Insomniac. I'd die if I couldn't play R&C, and Resistance was the game that got me into FPS (played on a friend's).
2) My friends (almost) all have PS3's.
3) At the time, the RRoD was still a huge thing, but I think we can safely say that this is no big deal now.
4) Games. Believe it or not, even back when the PS3 was first out, I still preferred the games. Of course, this also included future releases...
5) The controller. Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the 360 controller, but keep in mind that I grew up on the PS controller.

Just for the heck of it, here's some of the exclusives that make the PS3 worth it (or will) for me; Ratchet and Clank, Resistance, Uncharted, Wipeout, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, GT 5, Killzone 2, GOW III, and of course, LittleBigPlanet.
