The PS3 has a slightly better CPU than the Xbox. Which makes the games a little smoother. The Xbox has a better GPU than the PS3 which makes for better graphics.
The PS3 supports blu-ray, CD and DVD while the XBox only supports DVD and CD.
The PS3 comes with bluetooth and WiFi. You can buy an add-on to give your Xbox WiFi connectivity.
Exclusive releases: The Xbox 360 has been around longer than the PS3 so it has more exclusive releases.
Controllers: The cheap ps3 controllers are smaller and lighter the Xbox ones.And cheap xbox 360 controllers price is higher than ps3 controllers.
Playing online: Going online with the Xbox costs money while with the PS3 it's free ($50 per year). However the service with the Xbox 360 is better. I would say it's worth the $50.
Sony and Microsoft have both confirmed their new games consoles, the PS4 and Xbox One, will be released later this year.Now let's look at PlayStation 4's Dualshock 4 vs the Xbox 360's new smaller.At Fan Expo Canada in Toronto, I had the opportunity to go hands-on with the PlayStation 4's Dualshock 4 and the Xbox 360's new smaller, sleeker controller. To my surprise, I actually prefer the PS4's Dualshock 4 over the new Xbox One controller.
Interestingly, it almost feels like it was designed specifically to appeal to gamers looking to make the jump from the land of Xbox to using the PlayStation 4 as their primary console. I also have the feeling the Dualshock 4 has been designed with first-person shooters in mind, a genre that at least for the next couple years, will probably continue to dominate the mainstream gaming scene.
