hahahahahahaha i love loling.
PS3 ghosts the xbox on so many different fronts.
-PS3 actually works
-Sony's online platform when they roll it out will be so much stronger then xbox live, oh yeh and its FREE
-PS3 game library is MASSIVE in comparison, and you will be able to play old games once the online portion goes live, so it will be backwards compatible through ps1.
-Sony did not lie about their benchmarks
-Xbox kills it in shooters, and that's about it.
Oh yeh, and PS3 has support for 1080p right out of the box, 360 does not unless you drop mad cash and get the nicest one they sell.
They are both good systems, but microsoft has not been in the gaming market for very long, let alone consoles. Sony has been doing it forever, thus the playstation is just a stronger unit in general.
Sony has made all the mistakes ms has made already and has moved on and learned.
Also the xbox 360 has a life span of 4 years, ps3 10. I'd much rather spend $400 and get 10 years outta my system then 4.
Granted MS has signed some big names on board, so their game library might improve quite a bit, they also cater to the casual market much more then Sony.
But yeh GTA4 will look and perform better on a PS3, but not to the naked eye.
