What I view

Personally, I think that the PS3 is a better system than the Xbox. I am a fan of the Playstation, always have been. Playstation, Playstation 2, Playstation 3. But, this isn't what I think. This is a view on what game system is better based on facts. Not biased opinion. Just straight fact. So yeah
