Well, whether the 360 games are better or not is a matter of opinions. He's right in the sense that the 360 has more games for it then the PS3, but that's mostly because the 360 has been out longer and has had more time to develop. The PS3 has been slow in coming out of the gates but they are steadily improving.
As for his argument about the PS3 software, you should remind your friend that the same argument was used when the PS2 first came out, and because of the complicated coding of the PS2 many speculated that the Gamecube and the Dreamcast (the XBox wasn't out at the time) was going to dominate the PS3 because of that. I think we all know the results of that argument is these days.

Your friend is a fanboy. The PS3 is selling less, but that by no means means it's worse. There may be one or two more games better on the 360, but that doesn't mean there are NO good ones on the PS3. There are many. In my mind they are both equal, and I can't live without either of them.
Developers already know how to use the PS3 (except maybe EA), and they are learning more and more by the day. I will bet my life that Sony will not discontinue the PS3. The Xbox bombed in the face of PS2 but it wasn't discontinued.
Your friend is exagerating the weaknesses of the PS3 to an extreme level. Ditch him, and the time you save from not talking to him use to play your PS3.
And don't ask these kinds of questions anymore. THEY HAVE NO ANSWER.

Your friend is just baised and jealous. He knows that you don't have to worry about your system scratching up your discs like the 360 does, and he knows that you don't have to worry about hardware failure. The PS3 has better exclusives to me, and the PS3 will be getting more exclusives than the 360 in the near future.
He said that no one will figure out how to use the software? Well if that is true then why is there Heavenly Sword, Lair, Warhawk, and other PS3 exclusives? He's just jealous because he knows that once developers figure out how to use the software to it's fullest potential, Xbox 360 games will be nothing compared to PS3 games.
All the 360 has is Forza, Halo 3, Gears of War, and some other no-name games that no one has ever heard of. The PS3 will have some huge game releases in the near future that will have 360 fanboys crying for more exclusives!

Let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:
Almost a third of XBOX 360 are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 0.2%.
Let's compare them
PS3 has 7+1 kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3x2
PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 54 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual DVD (9.5 gb).
Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in card reader (except 20 gb version), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $
Graphics are stronger in PS3, due to RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. To estimate its power (roughly) - take 8600 nvidia graphics card, multiply it by 2 - get a result, still PS3 stronger, because 8600 Ultra runs on 400 Mhz and RSX runs on 550 Mhz.
PS3 has a chip from AGEIA company. It does to physics of the game same thing GPU (videocard processor) does to graphics. This card is on sale for PC. The price is around 350$.
Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of death" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 8 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it.
Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is an uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.
In 2008 we'll get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4 and other great exclusives. Here is the great link to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html......
PS3 online world will be free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.
In some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".
The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console.
Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years.
I didn't mention Wii, because it's so weak, no point to talk about it.

Sony has been in the hardware side of entertainment for over thirty years ...your friend has no idea what they are talking about...
THe ps3 in the first eight months of release has sold more units then the 360 did in it's first eight months.....Current 360 sales numbers include all the replacement consoles for the ones returned to stores due to the 360 red ring of death... So if you look at the total 360 sales since 2005 then subtract the 33% which have already had to be replaced the sales numbers for the 360 are dismal for a console that has been out for two years...
The 360 has been re-released 3 times since 2005 --The elite in march of 2007 and the halo version, and the pro with hdmi and next the 65nm chip( cheaper chip to produce) . What game console maker has ever had to release the same system that many times in less then two years since release.... Next because the 360 , elite , and 65nm systems are locked into dx 9 graphics the 360 will have to be re-released again by late 2008 or early 2009 because game producers are going to want to showcase what they can do and the 360 is already outdated... Most new PCs are capable of dx10......It's nuts so the sales numbers are skewed again because many 360 owners sold current versions to buy the elite ,,, to buy the halo version,, so many of the sales numbers include those repeat purchases...
Halo 3 the top selling game in history ---really check Ebay out lookat how many ebay resellers have thousands in stock and are loosing their shirts because of the lack of demand...It's not necessarily that the 360 owners aren't demanding it they are, but the actual numbers for how many 360 owners there are actually out there has been seriously miss calculated...Because the sales numbers included replacement units and current owners upgrading...
Technology wise if the 360 is a 7th gen system then the ps3 is an 8th or 9th gen by comparison..
PS3 is $499 and the Xbox 360 Elite is $479. $20 dollar difference...
PS3 games produced are on Hd 50gig blueray (more space for better graphics without sacrificing game levels and game size..) GTA4 developers even stated that the game will have better graphics and gaming on the ps3 version and are having issues with the 360 version because of 8gig dvd game format... They may have to make the 360 version on multiple disc so if you like getting out of your chair alot while playing, .....
360-elite games produced on dual layered 8gig dvds
game developers are finding the 360 format to limiting and finding that they have to sacrifice game graphics or gaming levels and challenges...
Ps3 for the extra $20 you get a full HD entertainment system that also surfs the internet. You can goto any website and watch or download videos like YouTube...You can access your email and print it etcc...
Ps3 Blueray hd movie player that also upscales regular dvds movies to HD...It also upscales ps2 games to hd..
Ps3 comes with rechargeable controllers...
Ps3 comes with free online play and Wifi
All of the above the 360-elite can't do.
360 and elite -For hd movies you have to buy the hddvd player for $200. For
360 elite for quick charge kit you have to buy it for $20.
360 elite no interent browser
Ps3 hdmi 1.3 (supports deep color)
360-elite- 1.2 doesn't support deepcolor 1.3
Ps3 Nvidia RSX GPU Graphics at least two years ahead of it's time. And programmers aren't even close to using it's full potential yet.
360-elite is hardware locked into outdated DX9 graphics-Game programmers are developoing for DX10 (full 4d and 3d motion realism)
THe ps3 8cell broadband processors. CPU-Designed specifically for highspeed calculations (Games Capable of more AI charactors )
Xbox 360 -Elite-- The New 65NM CHip....Isn't any different then what they used in the 360 core except it cost less to produce....
Ps3 you can buy any external usb harddrive and hook it up loaded with music videos , etc...You can buy any brand 2.5 ata harddrive and upgrade the harddrive size for ps3...
THe elite and 360 requires Microsoft harddrives only- for a 20gig it's $100, for the 120 it's $189
360 -elite for wifi you have to pay an additional $100 and online gaming is $50 a year...And for that $50 a year to play online you also get stuck with third party in menu advertising...
To use 60% of what the 360 and elite can do you have to buy the addons and you'll spend over $750 before you even insert a game.
THe elite and new 360s hdmi, 65nm, red ring of death--Microsoft has no Idea what the cause is, You can't fix what you can't find. So yes they are all vulnerable.
Get the ps3 you can use it for so much more. We own all three. THe wii, elite and ps3

he is partly right. The ps3 has very limited games and sells. Therefore there have been rumors. I think that if the ps3 was ever going to become popular it would have happened. So although he may be bias, he is still right.

PS3 is much better than xbox360. But halo 3 is available in xbox360. So think about it.
