Playstation 3...just general discussion
I have an original Pong machine...Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Colecovision, Intellevision, NES, Sega Genesis, SNES, PS1, Xbox and best of all...a MAME machine.
Yes, EA makes games for both, and I prefer the Xbox MUCH more than the PS2, as do all of my friends.

Ps2 has way more games, but the games I own for XBox really outshine a lot of what PS2 has. This didn't used to be the case. XBox used to really not be anything special. It had Halo and that was about it. But, in the last 2 years or so they've really hit the gas and started to catch up.

The thing people are forgetting is that PS3 is not just turning into a gaming platform anymore, its turning more and more into a home theater/jukebox esque thing with the ability yo play video games.
Now of course PS3 is going to blow the 360 out of the water, its also because it has quite a bit more power under the hood. Not for just games, but for being able to decode 1080i/HD and other goodies.
And if you do a bit of digging (I am too lazy), Sony even said that the PS3 is going to come with a high price tag and might not be for the everyday consumer.

As for the PS3 being able to decode 1080i, this is what Todd Holmdahl, Corporate Vice President of the Xbox Product Group at Microsoft had to say in a recent interview.
Todd Holmdahl: Out of the box (North America), we will support component video (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i) and composite video (all worldwide variations). Aftermarket AV cables will add support for S-video, enhanced SCART RGB, and VGA.
As for the GPU, the Xbox 360 has the most powerful GPU of any gaming console; even better, we made specific design choices to enable game developers to render real-time complex scenes at high resolutions with high-quality anti-aliasing. Without our Embedded DRAM on the GPU and the huge 256Gbyes/second dedicated bus from the GPU core to the EDRAM, it is impossible to render true next-generation scene complexity at high-resolution with anti-aliasing.

Yeah you're supposed to be able to download old school games to it... but, at what type of fee? I'd certainly not want to spend 4.99 to download a copy of a game that I already have here in my old collection. A cool extra feature still.
