I'm in a dilemma. I am looking to purchase a next-gen console sometime this winter and I'm really stuck between the X-box 360 and the PS3. (Don't even mention the Wii because it looks like one of the gayest consoles ever released) I know that the X-box 360 has more and probably better games now but I don't know if the PS3 will get better before the holidays or if it will tank. (If it helps I really like action and shooting/war games) So if someone out there could tell me (and back up what they say with some facts) what console would be the best bet this holiday season.

You made me laugh when you said that the Wii is the gayest console ever released!! I totally agree.
Anyway, the console that has the most bang for the buck is the PS3. Everyone knows that the PS3 is the better bargain, even Xbox 360 owners know it, they just don't want to admit it.
The PS3 can play Blu-Ray DVD's, regular DVD's, PS1, PS2 and PS3 games. It has built in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4 USB ports, and supports all major Digital Camera memory cards. Just to give you an idea of how much bang for the buck you are getting, if you were to buy just a stand alone Blu-Ray player you would be spending almost a thousad dollars.
You may think that Blu-Ray isn't that big of a deal, but it is. All PS3 games use Blu-Ray discs and this allows for games to be more detailed, it allows for longer games, bigger game worlds, and more.
Before the end of this year, there will be some good games out for the PS3. If you want to check out all of the confirmed future PS3 games until 2008 click on the link below. Also, this list is not final, new games are updated from time to time.

I own an Xbox 360, but I can see why you want to get a PS3. The PS3 is starting to get more exclusive games (which look completely kick-***) like Home, and Metal Gear Solid 4. But, Sony is in a non-stop competition with Microsoft and is skipping a lot of the essentials, such as online play. The best value however can easily go the Xbox 360. Especially now that the price as dropped. The marketplace and friends lists and all other parts have been copied, terribly, by Sony and are now paying the price for it. If you are an online gamer, you will be pleased to know that there is a new demo of an upcoming game released on the Marketplace (for free) just about every week or so. For example, the demo of the game "Stranglehold" came out just this morning, and it is the best demo in a long while.
You also can have friends and can keep close contact with them, by means of video or voice chat, messages, instant messenger, inviting them to games-in-progress. This is the console for you if you are a social person.
As for your Action and Shooter games.... There are a lot headed in the way of both consoles, but the Xbox 360 is clearly a more focused console on adult games. And yes, Gears of War is as good, if not better, than you have heard.

i'd say PS3 is the best bet. Buddy,sony is the best in business ...there's no way microsoft can beat them with a stupid console..but the PS3 is much more expensive than the 360. if ur not concerned about the price tag u can go for the PS3. And as far as the games are concerned, almost all the game manufacturers will be releasing their games in two versions...one for the PS and another for the 360..u dont have to worry about this aspect.

well... i personally have the ps3, i really like it because it has amazing graphics and the games are some of the best ive played. the xbox360 is fun... the racing games are the best for it, bur id say the ps3 is better. you also have 2 consider the prices... so if u r willing 2 pay that much for ps3, it is totally worth it. and i know u said not 2 mention the wii, but it is actually very fun, i never wanted it, but my friend got it. after he got it played it at his house and was surprised at how fun it really was. well, thats my opinoin, so good luck and i hoped that this helped.

I'm pretty sure XBOX 360 will have more Shooting//War games, because Xbox didn't have that much kiddy games anyway...
