Like I said, Im not a fanboy of either, Im just saying which system I have had a better expierience with. Malenko, I havent heard of alot of those games that you have 
The only real unpopular game I listed was OneChanBara aka Bikini Samurai Squad. A hard and goofy yet fun hack n slash game. Amped 3 is a snowboarding game, launch title can be bought for $4.99 used from gamestop now, lol Everything else you should have heard of.
I did mention I have a PS3 (and a Wii) right? Just checkin. I mean I'll give the PS3 credit, its still at least hooked up to the TV, the Wii was retired to a plastic bin in the basement like a year ago.
I guess the stuff you said about the graphics are true, but I wanted to hear it from somebody impartial like you instead of asking the opinion of a sony or microsoft fanboy.
Well skyward sword is coming out, so you better dust the wii off. Other than that... yeah I'm ready for the wii U.
The whole thing mentioned about the "lead console" makes me think that people are seriously underestimating the wii U. Gimmicks and questionable decisions aside, it will be the first console out for the next generation, meaning that all third party games will be made on it's specs anyway, even if the other guys release a more powerful console. Back in previous generations when the specs for each console was similar, the first console out of the gate always won the war. Nintendo has it's first party franchises for leverage as well.
Back on topic:
My opinions of microsoft vs sony have always been purely on principal. I'll be honest. In general at least, I hate the exclusives on the 360 just as much as I do the ones on the ps3. Fps and racers are not my thing, metal gear is far too wierd for me and I HATE rpgs. (Although I do enjoy project gotham). I like the third party games on those consoles much better. No offense to those companies but their first party stuff looks like a stinky dog turd compared to nintendo's first party games.
So I first look at the hardware. Meh it's about the same, except the 360 controller is more comfortable to hold. (Yup that's one of my reasons as well.
) Then I look at the price. At the time anyway, the ps3 was frikkin 600 bucks, which is just unacceptable in my book. The version of the 360 I got was 250 and for another 50 I got a used HDD and game and I was ready to play. That's a 300 dollar savings, which is only sensible in my book.
Then I look at company policy and see if it is a company that I really want to support. Microsoft unfortunately screws up at almost everything they try, BUT they are trying to innovate and the xbox live network alone was enough to tell me that they will be trying to give gamers more toys to play with. Sony tends to throw money at the wall to make a powerful box and then cower in the corner, spying on the competition, ready to leech off of their good ideas.
Sony has done very little for gaming over the years, so I can't in good conscience support them unless they have a vastly superior gaming platform. Their only real merit is that they give nintendo and microsoft some healthy competition so that they don't get lazy.
I don't understand the whole RROD problem myself. People complain about it like crazy and I even had my original xbox RR, but m$ was very nice about it. I got a new xbox in a week with a free month of live and it's been fine ever since. I mean the original NES had a terrible "failure" rate with those defective connector pins, but we all still loved it because it was a great gaming platform when it worked.
Sony's security breech was a lot scarier to me. Those are supposed to be private servers with custom protocols. Somebody screwed up really bad over there. Maybe if they charged 50 bucks to the users to hire competant people to admin it, the whole mess wouldn't have happened. (j/k)
