Grade the PS3 in it's first year of existence...

I agree with what Steelmaker has to say, with the exception of Ghost Recon 2. I would say with the exclusion of better online play from paid network support, GR2 is better on the PS3. The big loss is going to be Orange Box. That is a massive port difference.

There are also a couple of titles where the PS3 is better, including Skate, DiRT, Oblivion, and Marvel Alliance (excluding downloadable content).

Most are now a wash including Call of Duty 4 and Assassin's Creed.

In the end, the 360 has been standing up well against the PS3. However, in my mind, the RROD and hidden fees make the 360 a less than tempting console to purchase.

PS3 is doing well, but given its market dominance from the PS2, it should have owned this generation and now it is fighting for second place in console sales.

Now that the price drop has happened, Sony needs Home, Little Big Planet, MGS 4, FFXIII and GT5 to deliver, while ensuring 3rd party titles such as GTA IV and DMC4 remain at least equal to the 360. If not, North America is going to remain XBOT paradise.
