I have both the XBOX 360 and the Playstation 3 and this is my review ofthem.
PS3
Pros
Sixaxis Controller( The sixaxis has the ability too sense Pulls, Trusts and Tilts allowing the player to get more into the game, You also dont need to waste your time or money on other batteries because the sixaxis controler just plugs into the ps3 system to recharge)
Hard Drive ( There is a hard drive in every system made making it able to install parts of some games onto the hard drive, making some games load much faster)
Blue-Ray ( Blue-Ray disks can hold up to 50 gb and possibily in the future 200gb allowing massive amounts of data onto the disks, gepared to the 9gbs that a regular dvd can hold)
HDMI ( All PS3 systems have a HDMI output allowing you to plug it into your 720i, 720p,1080i, and 1080p televisions. Note: If you are playing on a standard TV(470i) you are not getting 70% of the graphics you would get on a 1080p.)
It has only a 0.2% failure rate
You can get the PS3 in a sleek and shiny black or white.
Network ( The Playstation Network is gepletly free and will soon have a trophy system along with a virtual world called Home)
The Power on and eject buttons are touch like the ipod scroll wheel.
You can put the LINUX operating system on it and make it look like a geputer
Games ( There are many great exclusive games out already or geing out for the ps3. I will name a few) Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Uncharted Drakes Fortune, Haze, Unreal Tounament III, Heavenly Sword, God of War 3, Resitance: Fall of Man, Resistance 2 and more.
You can run it for a extremly long time without any problems( go to google and type in "how to kill a ps3", the guys over at ps3vault did a test on it)
Cons
Its pretty expensive( It is the most expensive system to buy, but the price keeps on dropping)
It only has 256mb of memory ( This is not how much hard drive space is on the ps3)
It can scratch really easy.
It somtimes get junky ports from the xbox 360.
The 40gb version cant play PS2 games, but thats why its cheaper
The controller is too light but will probably be a little heavier when "dualshock 3" gees out
It has a quite abit of heat geing out of it.
XBOX 360
Pros
It has great exclusive games that are geing out or already out like Gears of War, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Fable2 and more.
It has 512mb of memory(double of what is on the PS3)
Bill Gates has alot of moneyand can easily pick up developers to make games exclusive for his system.
The controllers are pretty cool looking and feels good in your hands.
Xbox Live
The over all look of the 360 is pretty nice.
You can change the faceplates.
Its been out a year longer than any other next gen systems
Cons
It has a 16% failure rate
Not every system has a hard drive. Limiting developers possibilities.
The 360's game disks can only hold up to 9gb
The power supply is almost the size of a brick and you will need to find a place to hide this, but not in a tight space because it could overheat
You have to buy the HD-DVD player seperate if you want to watch HD-DVD's, but now that HD-DVD is cancelled its kind of usless.
It has the old kind of disk drive unlike the PS3 and Wii
The controller is pretty heavy.
It is very loud when you run it over about 20 minutes, but it doesnt matter if you have your sound cranked.
It could probably heat your room when its cold.
The"360 elite" is a bit expensive for pretty much just a bigger harddrive, a new cord, and a different color.
Xbox Live costs money. About $59.99 a year. They also try to get money out of you by making youpay forsome game add ons.
Nintendo Wii
Pros
Wii Remote, which can be used as a handheldpointing deviceand candetect acceleration ( connected wirelessly via bluetooth)
Smallest system ever
Backwards gepatible with gamecube ( though you need to use a game cube controller for a gamecube game)
Newslot disk drive like PS3
The system makes no sound
Good exclusive games like The Legend of Zelda,Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Smash Brothers
Downloadable games
Cheapest system
Cons
Wii is roughly 1.5 to 2 times as powerful as its predecessor meaning that the graphics are not even close to as good as the 360 and PS3. It has PS2 like graphics
Cant play dvds
Cant store music or movies on it
Not very many good 3rd party games
Has more childish games than anything else
