As a console, I hate the PS3. Everything about it is just annoying. The interface, the shape, even the controller. The built in wireless is nice because you'd have to buy that for an extra $100 I believe it is to do it on an Xbox(but I prefer to play wired anyway), but the internet is quite laggy due to low RAM so at most you can use it efficiently only to view text documents and things like that. It can load up pictures, but it takes a while because the 256 RAM can't keep up with the connection speed, nor can it handle multiple windows that well(but it's still nice and fast for, say, forums and reading FAQs).
Why do I say the controller is bad? Well in comparison to the 360 controller, I quite like it, but in general, I dislike it. The "triggers" are annoying, no one wants that shit. The PS2 controllers were the best. Easy to press, responsive, easy to handle, etc. The D-Pad in particular is the best I know of for ANY video game by a considerable margin. Controllers just don't need to be "advanced" with triggers replacing shoulder buttons and all this garbage. Make it simple and comfortable.
The games, well, obviously the PS3 has some good games. We all know that, all of the new generation systems have good games. But this comes down to opinion. You could argue the PS3 has an advantage because of its graphical capabilities. But really, I don't play games for graphics, I play them for gameplay. I don't really care all that much about how nice a game looks, all it is is icing on the cake. And if there's a bad cake, I'm just not gonna eat it no matter what you put on it. That said, it all comes down to opinion again.
And yes, I own a PS3 and Xbox 360 so I'm not just saying this stuff blindly.
