Both systems are great. sony has better graphics obviously cause it has a more powerful chipset behind it but can have slow down due to their low read speed blu ray drive and some comapnies just have a hard time developing for it Bayonetta is an example of this. Microsoft has the network xbox live its better than psn has great features which psn doesn't ,cross game chatting is really awesome for social gamers, and currently most companies aren't taking advantage of the PS3's superior graphics capability so it can keep pace graphically. Stop the fanboy BS and buy both systems like me ^^
