Considering that performance reviews between the two systems have indicated that The Xbox 360 CPU architecture has three times the general purpose processing power of the Cell. The Xbox 360 GPU design is more flexible and it has more processing power than the PS3 GPU. And the memory system bandwidth in Xbox 360 exceeds the PS3's by five times. I dont know why anyone would want to pay MORE money for a less powerful system. Aslong as the game makers continue to push out good titles on the both systems i dont think i could justify spending the extra money on a ps3 when the superior system other then not having blueray is cheaper.
