360 or PS3 for Multi Plats?

Einhander:
Some people say 360 looks better than PS3 on most multi plat games. I do know that to be true for Bayonetta 1, but haven't tested it too much on other games. Some say they like first persons better on 360 but 3rd persons better on PS3. Why would size of controller matter for first person?

Now my friend wanted me to buy all multi plats on PS3. He said his feelings were hurt when I got the Genesis collection on the 360. But I guess he's a fanboy that doesn't know what a fanboy is. He thinks that Xbox bit off of Playstation and wouldn't buy anything Xbox related if a gun was put to his head.

I do notice that some 360 games look pretty vibrant. I like the way Ninja Gaiden 2 looks. Now I know that might not be a very big difference but would you say that because the 360 was easier to develop for that a lot of multi plats tend to look better?

Fighters better for PS3? I don't know why I just feel PS3 would be good for fighters
First persons for 360? Just seemed more like a first person system.

I've always been more of an Xbox person, so all of my multiplats go on my 360. My PS3 is basically for exclusives only which is fine with me because the PS3 has quite a number of good exclusive titles, especially compared to the 360. I would ultimately go with whatever controller you are more comfortable with. I don't believe you're going to find much of a difference in resolution between the two, so I wouldn't base my decision off of that. The main points I would consider:

1. Controller - you're most likely going to be spending more time with the one you buy the multiplats for so you would want the most comfortable controller
2. Social Gaming - if you want to have the best social features like in-game chat, parties, chats then Xbox definitely beats Playstation in this category
3. Online with Friends - However if all of your friends that you play online with are on PS3 then the previous point is moot

Based on my own opinion and situation, Xbox was the clear choice for me.

Another related topic that I have yet to decide on, what about series that start on one company's systems and then branch out? For example Rayman originated on Playstation but feels more like a Nintendo type of game so I would prefer to get the whole series on Nintendo consoles, however the first few games are PS1 exclusive (physical release). GTA, Mega Man, Final Fantasy are some other examples of this.

I've always liked xbox controllers. I think original xbox is pretty underrated, especially right now. The wide range of quality titles, low prices, and noticeable refinement compared to many of their ps2 counterpart versions make it one of my systems of choice.

I agree with most of those points. However, I'm a PS guy myself and I much prefer the PS controller over the Xbox, so for that reason, I buy multi plats for PS3 and exclusives for Xbox 360.

However, one more point to make would be multi plats that have exclusive content on one platform. One example is Tome Raider Underworld. Since I prefer the PS controller, I prefer the PS version of the game. However, I also bought the 360 version because it had DLC that was only available for the 360 including extra levels and outfits. So I play the 360 version for those extra levels. Now, buying multilpe copies of the game may sound wastefull, but I bought the 360 version used for pretty cheap.

sheep2001:
Yup, I'm a ps controller guy too. Always preferred it. I don't think there is any discernible difference graphically or performance wise on multi plat games on PS3 to 360, But I also agree that a lot of games were nicer on original Xbox over the ps2. Added to that, I've got a modded xbox with coin ops 7 on it, which is fantastic.

I actually also prefer the online and store on the PS3 (although the store is painfully slow). My 360 is virtually never switched on.
