I'll chime in on this one.

I am a happy PS3 owner, and have had one since launch, here is the funny part, I do not, nor have I ever owned any Microsoft gaming console. Yep, that's right I have been strictly Sony or Nintendo in the past. I have played all of the systems though on a pretty regular basis through friends, in store demo units, etc etc.

If you are looking for flat out killer games, then the 360 is the must have system, it has been out longer than the other 2, and has more games out for it due simply to the longer system timeline. Each system has it's exclusives that are for that system only, and they each offer a nice variety of titles to choose from, but with the 360 having been out longer it just simply has more games to choose from.

Graphics wise you are getting about the same thing from either a PS3, or a 360, don't get all wrapped up in the hype of what a system's hardware can push, if the developing studios don't know how to use the system then the graphics will suck. Case in point, look at God of War 2 for the PS2, those images rival any of the HD systems out there now and that console has been out almost 10+ years. Personally I think that with what is inside the PS3, we will be able to see better graphics over time and for a longer time period, but as it stands right now the PS3 and 360 are about equal.

Fun factor always plays into it, and the Wii has this one pretty much down as a "party" or family friendly console, they have the games that are a lot of fun with a group of people sitting around, or a family game night. While the other two systems have more of the lone gamer stuff, or multiplayer/online offerings.

Edit: Someone made mention of the HOME service above, and I don't want to break my TOS agreement, so I cannot get too much into detail on it, but I am a beta tester for it. I don't know what people are thinking this service is, but it is more of a 2nd life thing than an online gaming haven. You have this "home space" where you can place furniture, decorations, wallpaper etc. You can then walk around the areas such as a movie theater (surrently playing trailers for Sony studio movies) a game room where you can bowl, play pool, or some simple push and click video games with the other avatars. More or less, the Home service is like an avatar based Myspace or Facebook, you create a toon or avatar, dress them up and go interact with others on the service.
