PS3 outselling Xbox 360 in Europe - which side are you on?

Sony has announced that the PS3 has now outsold the Xbox 360 in Europe - both consoles have sold around 5 million - despite being released over a year later. Blimey. There we were thinking that the 360 was the bees knees. It has always had the better games and Xbox Live is brilliant, easily bettering Sony's - and Nintendo's for that matter -online attempts.  But things are clearly changing. The PS3 has gradually picked up gaming steam with titles like GT5 Prologue. And equally as important is Blu-ray, which has now "won" the next-generation DVD war after the withdrawal of the HD-DVD competitor (you know, the one you could buy a 360 add-on for).  Combine this with PSP connectivity - Go View, the tie in with Sky that allows anyone to download Sky content and watch on their PSP looks very interesting - and an ever improving online service and you have a console on he rise.

But still, we can't decide. The 360 has better online and games - for now - and most of our friends are on it. Plus those achievement points are moreishly addictive. The PS3 has more reliable hardware, increasingly decent games and an online service, which while lacking Live's full feature set is at least free to use.

So, Xbox 360 or PS3 - which side of the fence are you on?
