The 360 is a better console, got better games, better quality and just better in absolutely everyway, except PS3 has the blu-ray compatibility, which isn't really that much of a plus.
I played both, I prefer xbox 360, but i guess the people who want to show off and dont really like gaming would choose the ps3, simply because it sounds like it might be better and its the most expensive.
Though for the best gaming ever get a good PC, thats what I say
