As far as graphics and power goes the PS3 is far more powerful than the xbox:

PS3-100Billion
Shader Operations Per cycle:
Xbox-96
PS3-136
Gflops(basicly CPU speed)-
Xbox-115
PS3-218
Games? What does the 360 have besides Halo (which IMO is a shitty game anyway)? PS3 has the GTA games, MGS, Killzone, SOCOM, and then all those weird Japanese games that give nerds boners.
As for the controler, who cares if it looks weird: your not looking at it if your playing (unless your a n00b). If they made a controler that looks like that you know it has to be really comfertable.
