Poll: So what console is better for gaming, 360 or PS3?

[dimensional]

Has anyone said SNES yet? No? Well then the answer is SNES.

(I do like my PS3 though)

A wise answer a truly great console and sturdy too.

As for this gen well I am lucky enough to own all 3 and a pc (yes I am the superiousist etc) and I generally have sessions where I play the 360 for a few months barely touching the PS3 and then vice versa (the wii and PC I play less often). Both are pretty much of a muchness really but lately I have sided more with the PS3 because of free online play and the fact my 360 has RROD once, I fixed it but I dont really trust it not to blow up at a later date.

Really? Fine, I'll bite.

When it comes to modern consoles I rank them as below.

1: PC
2: PS3
3: Wii
4: Xbox 360

There's really no need to list reasons why anymore.

I have all the current gen systems and used to prefer the Xbox because of the controller but got tired of paying for online and being force feed advertisements. The PS3 controller is way to small and causes my hands to cramp. Recently I bought some oversize grips for the PS3 controller (play maker) and have not turned the Xbox on in over a month. The PS3 is the best console, the controller just needs a makeover. The Wii is also a great system if you just want to have fun, especially with friends and family.

I would probably wait at this point for the next gen.

Xbox is better for online play (and if you are smart/patient you can get xbox live for a year for like 30 bucks) and better customer service.

PS3 has better interface, blue ray player (which quite honestly gets more use than my consoles do for gaming), and is easier to fix yourself. Oh, and picking a PS3 model is easy whereas finding the right xbox model was extremely frustrating.

price wise? Xbox edges PS3 out a bit. both systems cost about the same if you get two nearly identical ones. PS3 has free online, but old xbox games tend to be 5-10 dollars cheaper than their PS3 counterparts.

controller is a matter of preference. i prefer the PS3 controller over the xbox (terrible shoulder buttons). Ditto to exclusives.

Overall I'd give a slight edge to the 360 because I think their consistent quality of online service outweighs PS3's better exclusive games.

If you don't have a blu-ray player, and wanted to get one, then the PS3 regains the edge.
