Ever since PS3 came out and Xbox 360 had a rival, this question has been asked.
Xbox 360 Multiplayer
Xbox live is known as the best online that there currently is, even some PS3 players will agree with that one, but it's the price that people rave about. The fee really isn't that much at a rate of $7.99 USD per month and $19.99 for 3 months, with $49.99 for one year and with rumors that PSN won't be free anymore, theres been speculation about the superiority of Xbox live, overall, it is better than PSN.
PS3 Multiplayer
Being free, many players opt for PSN, or playstation network, over Xbox live despite worse quality. Free is free, and seeing as they almost do the same thing, the better deal is PSN. However, there are so many hoops you must jump through to play a multiplayer match and internet connection isn't as reliable as Xbox live.
Xbox 360 Graphics
The graphics of the Xbox 360 is superior to the Wii, Xbox, Playstation, Playstation 2, and of course, all handheld game systems, but the question is, is it better than PS3?
You tell me.
Here's What I think. The graphics are always more realistic, no matter where you put it, I mean, if its set on a battlefield, the PS3 will always brighten it, losing the grimy, dirty effect on the faces of characters (as seen in photo), but when it is supposed to be bright, then the 360 and PS3 are essentially the same. I call this one as the winner. Proof on the GTA IV image below. Look at how much more realistic this one is.
Another easy call.

PS3 Graphics
The graphics of the PS3, as seen above are not gritty and grimy, as seen in the Xbox 360 version that keeps it realistic and the mood correct. Hands down the 360 beats it in this one, but thats just one comparison. The PC actually is like comparing a diamond to a turd when it comes to graphics between the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. Depending on the game, the PS3's graphics match that of the Xbox 360, and in some occasions, are better than the Xbox 360, but these games are the minority.
Heres one just like that.
Tell me what you think on the blog. Isn't this one too bright? This game is GTA IV, by the way.

Xbox 360 Reliability
The Xbox 360 is infamous for crashing and sometimes said to be prone to it. The "red ring of death" is a gamers worst nightmare, and according to studies, up to 30% of Xbox 360s will be have been affected by it. However, newer models tend to be less prone to the problem as modifications and discontinuations to the old motherboards and systems have made the game more reliable. PS3 wins this one no doubt.
PS3 Reliability
Many PS3 owners laugh about the reliability of the Xbox 360, because PS3 system crashes are so uncommon, however, when it does crash, its more expensive to fix, then to just buy a whole new one. The PS3 rate of crashing is estimated to be as high as 20% though, by some people. Overall, this category is dominated by the PS3, but the Wii, actually is even more reliable than any of these two systems!
Xbox 360 Kinect
Making the Wii really look bad now, the kinect is a system of itself, and at a relatively low price, the new addition is a welcome one, all that it needs is more games to come out for it.
PS3 Playstation Move
Also making the we look terrible the Playstation Move is a great move when it comes to buying it, just as good as Xbox 360 Kinect.
Xbox 360 exclusive games
The system's laundry list of great exclusive games continually gets longer. The halo series, 6 games long has grossed $500,000,000 USD without even counting Halo: Reach, the most recent one. Along with halo is the Gears of War series, with Gears of War 3 on the way, expected to be a hit, Left 4 Dead, and Crackdown series are also highly ranked on the list.
PS3 exclusive games
Few systems have half as many exclusive games as the Xbox 360, let alone, matching the quality of them, the PS3 being one of them.
Another easy call, Xbox 360 wins. Masterchief has really shot up this system in this category.

Overall, the moment you've been waiting for.
Overall, taking into consideration the stuff I don't have displayed up here, I think this is an easy call, Xbox 360, that is, for now.
