360 for me just becuse all the mates have them .
Overall neither is the better console. It all depends on what you personally need for a gaming system. If you care most about the online capabilities, the Xbox 360 is for you; if you want a bit better graphics, the PS3 is for you. Oh, and if you are 7 years old, the Wii is for you.
Ps3 is better heres why...
2. GOD OF WAR OMG SXY
How so? The Wii has great games such as zelda, super mario galaxy, resident evil, super smash brothers, etc, that can easily appeal to anyone over 7.. Anyone who grew up with Nintendo would probably agree. In my opinion Nintendo usually delivers the best gameplay out of all of the systems (for the games that are actually good), I grew up on the N64 which I'd say is the best console ever released

ps3 = hardware
xbox 360 = online service.
thats all I really have to say.
Back it up.
From a technical point of view, the PS3 is a better system.
Reasons being:
1. Solder joints under the CPU/GPU are stronger, therefore less chance of failure, which is commonly seen in the Xbox 360 as game freezing and 3 red lights, with a variety of different secondary error codes.
2. Microsoft failed with the Xbox 360 X-clamps which basically hold down the heatsinks on the CPU and GPU. It is also supposed to keep these firmly held down, putting a decent amount of pressure on the chip. Over time, the a clamps get weak and loose its ability to hold the heatsinks firmly on the chips, which in turn, causes game freezing, and can also lead to further errors.
Other things that make the PS3 better:
1. Blu-ray player.
2. Free online.
From a gameplay standpoint, however, the Xbox 360 is much better. This is 100% opinion.
1. Xbox 360 controller is far more comfortable than the PS3 controller.
2. Everything else, such as graphics, online chat, etc is purely opinion.
Other things that make the Xbox 360 better than the PS3 are:
1. Removable hard drive which you can use on a friends xbox, therefore, you do not need to take the whole console when you go to a friends place.
2. Xbox 360 exploits, this may be viewed as good or bad, depending on who votes, be it the 100% legit player, or the person with a jtag hosting lobbies.
So, as it stands, the Xbox 360 vs. Playstation 3 controversy is all about personal preference.
Wait till ps3 starts pumping out 3D games.
