360
Pros
Best multiplayer (Live)
Arguably the best if you're an FPS fan (Gears, Bioshock, Halo Series)
Cheaper than PS3
Cons
Some performance issues (red ring of death, etc.)
Outside of the FPS genre, not many great games
Still pretty expensive
PS3
Pros
Blu-Ray Capabilities
Best graphics
Franchises like Gran Turismo and God of War
Cons
Still very expensive
Not many games yet

even with ps3's rumored superior graphics which many comparions show its just as good as xbox 360's, u cant beat the already sucessful launch of Xbox Live. only thing ps3 has going for it are great game titles like final fantasy and a blueray drive. if blueray format wins the war then i may change my opinion about it . but for now xbox 360.

I think if Sony can't figure out how to drop the price on the PS3s, it's gonna end up like the Sega Dreamcast. But that being said, it *is* technically superior and has everything you can get on the Xbox for less without all the bugs. (assuming you buy the WiFi, HD-DVD, etc for the Xbox)
Personally, I've waited so long I'm just going to get what all my friends have, Xbox 360. But I'm going to wait until the following happens: The DVD drive doesn't scream like a banshee (I literally have to turn up the volume to drown it out), RRoD issues (65nm CPU cores), and HDMI cables (which has been met now). Supposedly all those are going to be fixed when the fabled "Mr. Falcon" edition comes out this holiday season. But whether you not you'll be able to tell which is which is another story. Oh, one more thing that would be really nice on the Xbox is built-in WiFi. I can't for the life of me figure out why M$ skimped on that. It's like 5$ chip OEM.

Remember what your comparing here... PS3 is a multimedia entertainment center.. XBOX is a gaming center only..
IMO that places these guys at different ends of the field.. if you want to justify spending the money for the PS3 over what the XBOX costs.. ask yourself if your going to use the PS3 to its fullest capabilities. If the answer is no then dont buy it. On the other hand if the answer is yes, ask yourself where else can you buy a game console, media reader, blue ray disk player and internet browser for less money? Blu Ray players are almost $1000 just for the player.
As for game selection goes well its a no brainer.. Playstation always had more games than any other console out there. PS3 hasent been out a full year yet, Xbox has been out almost 2. Of course right now they are going to have more games than PS3. Lets see the list again in 2 more years....

But also because they don't know how to make games with those graphics.............. yet.

I have had the PS3 since last Christmas and im so impressed with the system, but the games have really came out yet, but they will! and by Christmas this year it will have better games than 360. I also just go the Wii and it is really good. I would recommend the Wii over 360 and PS3
