I want a PS3. It looks a lot stronger and the graphics seem a lot better pus the motion sensor. Is the Xbox 360 really good? Because all the demos i played for it wasnt anything special and the only games I like on it are the ones that the PS3 has too. But should I just skip the PS3 and get an iPod Touch. It looks so cool and you could play addicting games on the touch screen. I have a wii and dont rwally like the games or the graphics. What should I do?

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 Ultra 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.

I am 13 years old as well. At first, I did by the system and I had every game and every accessory planned on when I was going to buy it and exactly how much it would cost. Soon I realized that it will never work with your plans, there is always something you can and should be doing better. My Xbox 360 and everything I have for it very quickly started costing more and more $$$. I say that if you are personally paying for it, you probably shouldn't. I also used to have a Wii, and that is the most simple console out right now. All you need is the Wii, maybe an extra controller, and a couple of games and your set for a while. If you are a hardcore gamer, a Wii is a TERRIBLE choice. By hardcore gamer I mean a competitive gamer, and if you aren't yet, buying a Xbox 360 will make you one, it did to me, which isn't such a bad thing to me, but can be to others.

Sony is soon coming out with a 40 GB PS3 for (probably) $399. A bunch of new games are going to be out by December too. The 360 is junk.

If I were you, I won't get the Xbox or PS3, they will both drop in price before year end. Check out the article from Penny college.

This is really a personal opinion. Don't let others make a personal choice for you. Get the one you want no matter the peer pressure!!!
