I think it all comes down to what the player wants.

If you like Sports, FPS, and racing games, you'll like 360. If you absolutely must have great online play, you want 360. Not to say that there won't be other types of games, but there weren't that many on xbox, and I don't see many more on 360.

If you like quirky titles and retro-oldskool games (down to 8 bit), then you want Revolution, esp. if you don't care about online or graphics.

If you want a large library and don't need online, ps3 is the best choice. And probably a must have for jrpgs (DQ, FF, Suikoden) and other games usually made by Japanese companies. Also a good choice if you already have a large ps/ps2 library as you'll be able to pop in your old ps1 FF7 and it will still work in ps3 (SOL if you only have xbox360 or Revolution, no system is compatable with games made for other systems).

For me anyway, my choice is made pretty much for me -- I want to play my old ps1/ps2 games as well as the new ones without needing two systems. Online gaming doesn't excite me (usually you get in with morons who can't say anything other than "smurf !!!" on the headset), plus there are monthly fees for the privellege (I don't want to pay to play a game I already own). plus because I'm fairly interested in jrpgs (and some strategy games), I'd want a system that would have those type of games on them. That ain't XBOX.
