Leider nur in englisch, aber ich denke die meisten werden dem mächtig sein. Auf jeden fall sehr interessant zu lesen:
PS3 Vs Xbox 360 - A Game Developer's View
Being a video game developer (I develop for both, Playstation 3 and XBOX 360) people ask me almost daily which platform I think is better. These are my personal feelings, in no way does this reflect my employer.
Short answer: XBOX 360.
Performance: On paper<----, the PS3 is more powerful. In reality, its quite inferior to the 360. Without getting into too many details, the three general-purpose CPUs the xbox360 has are currently FAR easier to take advantage of than the SPUs on the PS3. I suspect a few years down the road some high budget, first party PS3 exclusive titles will come out that really take advantage of the SPUs and do things the XBOX 360 cant, but I dont think the console is worth buying based on this speculation (for some it will be though, we'll have to wait and see how these games turn out).
Graphics: The XBOX 360 is a clear winner. The GPU is more powerful. It has more powerful fillrate, and far more pixel and vertex processing horsepower. Part of the reason is their choice of memory, and architecture of pixel and vertex procesing. I cant get into details but the same vertex shader will run much slower on the PS3 than the XBOX 360. The 360 also has a clever new way rendering high definition anti aliased back buffers. To accomplish the same effect on PS3 is prohibitively expensive. For this reason I think many games will have no choice but to run in non-HD resolutions on the PS3 version, use a lower quality anti aliasing technique, or do back buffer upscaling. The end result in all cases is going to be noticeably worse image quality.

Ars Technica hat die PS3 einmal genauer unter die Lupe genommen und das kam dabei raus:
Endwertung: 6/10
The Good:
* The hardware looks great, and runs nearly silently and very cool
* Wireless controller is light and feels great
* Great-looking Blu-ray movie playback
* Price is low for a Bluy-ray player
* A lot of multimedia options
* Solid backwards compatibility
The Bad:
* Terrible online store
* Slow, unituitive browser
* No background downloading
* Games continue to play even if you eject the disc; you have to manually restart the UI via the controller
* Messy UI
* HD scaler doesn't work right
* Price is high for a video game console
* No rumble, controller loses sync with system sometimes; little game support for motion-sensing features
* Uninspired launch lineup

Im Vergleich dazu der XBox360 - Test bei Release von Ars Technica:
Endwertung: 9/10
The Good:
* High resolution graphics with rock solid frame rates and full surround sound
* Classic games on demand
* Perfect online integration with every title
* Xbox Live just keeps getting better and better
* Wireless controllers as a standard
The Bad:
* The heat!
* Strong but unspectacular launch library
* Try buying one; watch the clerk laugh at you
* Confusion over the two versions of the system
* Without an Internet connection and hard drive you won't get all the features
* A lot noisier than we're used to with consoles
The Ugly:
* Being able to use the power brick as a heater for your house. The thing barely fits under my bed, and it keeps me warm all night
