I own a PS3 and as it stands would never buy an XBOX (unless of course it was offered to me for less than $50, then I'd buy it just because)
Why is this? Because the xbox has no appealing games for anyone besides fratboys. Almost all of the acclaimed xbox exclusives are shooters. It has few if any good platformers, adventure games or RPGs.
People claim that it has a superior online service to the PS3 but I'm sure none of those people have ever actually used a PS3. But even then it's a moot point if you don't like playing with fuckwads (which describes almost everyone on XBL).
I think one of the major appeals of the XBox is that it's steam compatible but the PS3 will be getting steam soon too so that's no longer a selling point.
So unless you like shooters and being griefed, the xbox is not really an appealing alternative.
Also almost every xbox exclusive rpg eventually comes to the ps3 updated with more features. Not that it matters much because they still typically suck (thanks eternal sonata) but it's worth knowing.
