The Xbox 360 is probably the better choice if you're into first person shooter style games... Or really just any game that's heavy on action, light on story.
The PS3 is kind of the opposite... Better if you like games that are big on story and not so much action.
Not that there won't be plenty of overlap, especially with a lot of big name titles being released for both consoles, but as a general rule, that's how the games are likely to break down between those two consoles. So, if you're an action fan, get a 360... If you're an RPG fan, get a PS3.
