It does sound contradicting. If it were only games, the 360 wins in a landslide. Its online capabilities dwarf the PS3s as well. The problem with the 360 is its build quality. A 30% failure rate for electronics is down right absurd. The average consumer electronics failure rate is around 4%.
The 65nm chips are beginning to roll out now, or so I read. The failure rate for the 360's should be greatly reduced, and the price of the 360 will come down at the same time.
I have owned all 3 of the next generation systems, and the 360 and its games are better than the Wii and PS3 combined. The Wii wins the "fun factor" and the PS3 and its Bluray player have done me well.
So, I reluctantly voted for the 360, eventhough its build quality is horrid. I will feel better about my vote in the next couple of months when the better hardware comes out.
Make anymore sense?
Not much sense, DCR. Based on reading your posts alone, I voted for PS3. Then you come along as say you voted for 360. I dunno, man.

Both consoles have a lot to offer. Because of the Bluray player, the PS3 has done me well, but I know that not everyone is considering an HD player yet. If you are not considering the HD player, the PS3 should not be on anyone's radar. That alone should push most consumers towards 360.
P.S. I don't mind sounding contradicting on this issue. I sometimes wish that I had my 360 still. I'll get another one around X-Mas time.

Sony dropped the price on PS3 right when I going to pickup an XBOX 360.
So which would you buy and why?
better pick up your PS3 SOON if you plan on getting one.
Sony is officially discontinuing the 60gb model and is replacing it with an 80gb model and jacking the price back up to $599.
to top it off, they are removing the emotion engine from the hardware, and are now doing software emulation for PS2-PS titles. so you are only getting close to 90% compatibility instead of 100%, and a loss in visual quality.
