Right I have gotten both consoles Xbox and PlayStation, in my opinion i think that Xbox is far better than PlayStation if we look at it from different perspectives
1 Social - The Xbox is far more sociable than the PlayStation, with the PlayStation the only real people who ever talk are either continually arguing or are playing some pretty distorted noises down the mic.
2 Games (exclusives) - the game exclusives on the Xbox compared to the PlayStation 3 in my opinion are far more superior, for one Halo, this is one of the biggest selling games ever, it is exclusive to Xbox, Halo 2 was still being played even when Halo Reach was released, then gears of war, It is indescribable the amount of time and effort that must have went into making this game, it was so unbelievable, you can play the campaign alone multiple times without being bore.
3 Freebies - PlayStation take a starting lead here with there free online multi-player, yes this is good but Xbox use the money we spend on there subscription to help improve our gaming experience. Last FM Xbox exclusive is a good touch, it is free and can get you into some very good bands. Then Xbox further takes the leads with there Facebook/Twitter both have been put on the Xbox dashboard and are working in collaboration to improve Xbox, this is a good touch so you can check your Facebook and Twitter without even moving.
4 Cross platforming - Xbox as a Microsoft product have a couple of games that can be played cross platformed like Gears of war one and two can both be played against p.c gamer. Games like shadow run as well.
5 Collaborations and sponsorship - Xbox teamed up with Call of Duty so that Xbox gets maps before the PlayStation will, which means Xbox gets to see what its like a good period of time before PlayStation. Xbox signed up with Zune, Zune is a massive Movie store that allows you to stream from Zune directly to your Xbox console. The final to were the additions of Twitter and Facebook, this came as a surprise to everyone, but it was a good surprise.
6 Quality - If we are talking about directly Gaming quality then it is more or less even as Xbox and PlayStation both have 1080p HD but if we go into movie detail i do have to admit that PlayStation is better than Xbox for movie because of the blue ray.
7 Updating - Generally the idea is to continually update a console so that it become better than the others in the market, and Xbox does just that, Xbox release a new update at least once a month. they can change there dashboard around, add in cool new features even voice recognition downloads soon. While PlayStation do not update as much.
This is just my opinion - Coyler
Social, I don't have much issues with the social on there, we have something called Home which is developed for people to enjoy talking to one another and make great friends, so we are good there. The chatting and crap, I found that both have the same issues, little kid here and there.
Xbox: 1 PS3 1
Exclusives, the PS3 has exclusives as well, Uncharted is a great one for example, they are using just about every resource the PS3 has, or to their knowledge and look at the game and the graphics, it beats just about every game. 1080p for the PS3.
Both have great games to be honest.
XBox 2 PS3 2
Freebies
Xbox and PS3 both give out great things, for 50 bucks you can sign up for the PS+, they to be honest have great deals, if you spend a good amount of cash buying games then you can end up saving a ton of cash.
Both in my opinon are equal though.
Xbox 3 PS3 3
Cross Platforming
I give this to the XBox but you have to remember that this is Microsoft..
Xbox 4 PS3 3
Collaboration and Sponsorship,
Xbox got this because they are Microsoft. Microsoft came out before and signed contracts that locked these groups in. Zune is Microsoft, doesn't really count. PS3, we may not get the first content but at least we get everything bug free whereas you spend a month with bugs and glitches with people exploiting.
Xbox 5 PS3 4
Quality, PS3 has 1080p, Xbox in fact does not have 1080p they have 480p which is the highest that a standard disc can go, blu-ray is 1080i/p. We have better graphics.
Xbox 5 PS3 5
Updating,
I have to say the PS3 is better, they have stuck with one design that everyone likes, if it isn't broke don't fix it. Xbox seems to do this a lot and seems to not be able to stay with a single design, if they can't come up with something that everyone likes and will continue to like then they have issues.
Sony only updates it when it is needed.
Need to also add, the PS3 versus the Xbox based on hacking is a lot better, the PS3 has almost no hacking to it while the Xbox has a ton of it.
I load up a game on the PS3 and it is impossible to find someone who is hacking, yea we had that issue last year but that was one case and with Anon, they just found an exploit. The xbox is constantly being hacked and games are always being hacked and pirated, Sony doesn't let this happen.

My rating based on yours with some fixes.
To be honest, I find both systems great, Its an entertainment system, should it really matter which one you choose. It's like saying Itouch or Zune, both are great.
