PS3 Beats X Box 360 When You Add It All Up
Since the PS3 was launched everyone has been comparing it to the X Box 360 to answer one very important question: which console is better for next-generation gaming? I tried to take a different approach and put together a table of the different features of each console to see who would come out on top. Not taking into account price, the PS3 comes out on top way ahead of the X Box 360. This even surprised me; heck, I own a X Box 360 and love it. But the PS3 has more built-in features and minus what I think was a lackluster launch could be the real winner in the future.
Take the poll below - which console do you think is the winner?

What an insightful post. It's not everyone who can list a bunch of features in Excel, give them all equal footing, and then declare PS3 the "winner" because the raw number of features.
What's with the skewed featureset selection? ">20 GB Hard Drive" yields a point for PS3, but then so does "Game storage"? Both consoles get a point for "online services" even though Xbox is vastly superior? The PS3 gets a point because it has 4 USB ports vs. Xbox's 3? What about some points for Media Center extender functionality, or even "works with Zune & iPod"?
Your criteria are highly biased, and your grossly inaccurate 'conclusion' is based soley on the number of these pre-selected criteria landing arbitrarily in favor of PS3. Rather than discounting price completely (a much bigger factor to me than whether the power supply is external), why don't you do a real comparison? And keep in mind that quantity is not the same as quality.
