Eilonnwy mentioned something important, Japanese RPGs are definitely prominent on PS3, while the Xbox is more the console for FPS and American-style RPG(Fable, Elder Scrolls) games.
That's actually the clincher for a lot people who love Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior and whatnot.
I can remember having consoles for most of my life. I had a NES growing up, which I loved.
I got a Sega Genesis for Christmas one year, with 6 or 7 games (my parents bought it used from someone, I believe). I still remember the joy of seeing Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition, NHL 94, and Sonic the Hedgehog in that box and nearly having a stroke from the sheer joy.
My next console was an N64, which I bought at the age of 12 with money from a paper route. All of my friends' parents bought them N64s and Playstations and I bought my own, I was pretty proud of myself.
Good memories.
