If you're a videogamer in general, there's no reason not own a 360. If you're more RPG desperate, then the PS3 is one with potential. Then again, right now the 360 has Lost Odyssey and Eternal Sonata, so.

I have both a 360 and a PS3. Or rather, I own both, but my friend has my PS3 right now as I don't play on it.

They're both fine machines and while 360 has the obvious benefit of a superior controller, it really comes down to which has the exclusives to interest me. Of the big PS3 exclusives everyone's all excited about, I myself am not all that anxious for MGS4 or FFXIII. Motorstorm 2 and Project Thrico though? Those are going to be great.

EDIT:

With multiplat games I prefer to go for the 360 version because of the better controller. Can't really recall which 360 exclusives I'm looking forward to. Perfectly content playing my backlog of old Xbox games, actually.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Most of the 360 shooters (outside the exclusives) are on PS3 as well (even Bioshock now). That's current gen in general, not just 360.

Not that the PS3 doesn't have its share of exclusive shooters either. Resistance 1 and 2, Killzone 2, Uncharted (anyone who calls this an adventure game is an idiot) and Haze recently.

How ya doing, buddy?

I've never minded the layout of the dual shock. The triggers are admittedly crappy, but my biggest issue was always the flimsy analogue sticks. They are just too light and loose for my taste and make playing most games requiring aiming a bigger chore than it should be. Which is why I, again, go for the 360 versions with multiplats. The sticks are pretty decent for platforming and adventuring.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

But then action adventure is very different from action game. And I'd hesitate to describe the game with "adventure" when 80% of it is shooting things. It's as much a shooter as Gears of War is. You could just as well argue Gears is not a shooter because you spend a moment flicking switches and climbing stairs.
