PS3!!!!! 
I'd be a trader, a liar, and a backstabber if I were to vote otherwise.

yes the xbox has 3 processors. yes they are clocked at 3.2GHz. but you cant just add that up to be 9.6, it just doesnt work like that. it still runs at 3.2GHz its just that the 3 are running at the same time. so it can do 3 things at once, in theory. the cell is also clocked at 3.2GHz and has 9 cores (one control processor and 8 SPEs). but you cant compair GHz to GHZ, because the processors are two completely different designs. it just doesnt work. like another guy said: intel vs amd. 1st, the cell uses pure vector processors which are alot more efficient than the 360s general purpose G5 derivatives, so they can do more at a lower clock. 2nd there are 8 of them. 3rd each SPE has its own dedicated pool of memory instead of cache. there is NO system memory. which means that there is also no lag time between the processor and memory, speeding up the whole system. using dedicated ram instead of cache also helps to make the processor run closer to its 'paper' speeds by getting rid of innefficiencies inherent in cache ( i am not 100% on the details of this point however.). 4th it has INSANE system bandwidth. this means that it can interact with the other parts with less lag time and more information can be transmitted between them. 5th, as a vector processor it can also render graphics. meaning it can help the gpu do its job if it has some free time. 6th, blueray can hold more data and transfer that data faster than dvd and hd dvd. they are also researching multi layer discs that currently hold 100GB. 7th, 1080p, is just damn sexy. 1920x1080 without interlacing. 2 outputs for ultra widescreen over 2 screens no less! kinda puts the 360s 1080i in the shade. for those that dont know 1080i takes abot as much horsepower as about 540p and doesnt look anywhere near as good. and that is part of why the ps3 is technically superior to the 360.

PhysX is on the 360. In fact, AGEIA tried very hard to make a statement this summer that the 360 was capable of doing physics. Earlier, an AGEIA scientist said that the PS3 was doing very well but that the 360 wasn't as good as the PS3. This was also right after Microsoft sent specs to ign and were making the claim that the 360 was just as powerful as the PS3. A few weeks later, AGEIA made a rebuttal and said that the scientists was speaking only theoretically and that the 360 wasn't performing as well "under certain conditions"..
What those conditions were at the time has never been clarified, mainly due to the fact that it could be more damaging to a prospective customer (Microsoft) if the word got out that the 360 (set to launch in 2005) wasn't as capable as a machine that already "stole the show" at E3. Now, AGEIA must not really care about pleasing MS so much, or they know that we know the writing is on the wall and are more forthcoming about the PS3s abilities when compared to the 360.
AGEIA isn't BSing anyone, they have nothing to gain by BSing people. Their bread and butter is in PC gaming and the console war has very little to do with their bottom line, ESPECIALLY since both systems will have software utilizing their DevTools.
You know why the 360 didn't do as good under those conditions???? Because it's inferior to the PS3!!!!!!

A little about the GPU...
Allow for me to paint you another picture. Unified shader technology IS the direction that PC graphics are going to go. In fact, Nvidia have a unified shader GPU in the works called the G80. The thing that always struck me as kind of odd about the Xbox 360 is that it has a very early version of the architecture in it and it seems to be rather under powered to run games like Oblivion. Gamespot ran a comparison on Oblivion on a low end, mid-grade, and high-end PC to see how the 360 verison matches up.
The 7800 and 7900 were both more impressive than the 360 and that was at the same resolution, which we all know PCs can have higher resolutions than x720. So, the good news for us is that the GPU going in the PS3 WILL be more powerful than the Xbox 360.. Also, 1080p is not going to be a big stretch of the imagination since a 7900 can run INSANE resolutions on PC that no TV in the next three or four years is going to support.
Make no mistake about it, though.. Unified shader technology is the wave of the future because it CAN do things traditional cards cannot and when the technology actually matures, you will see some amazing graphics on PC games. The good news for the PS4 is that by the time it launches, there will be multi-core Cell processors that Sony may be very wise in putting in the PS4. Imagine what the clock rate on a Cell can be five or six or even seven years down the road? On top of that, Nvidia will be well into the unified shader architecture and be able to deliver on what is only dreams and random musings from the Xbox crowd about what the GPU actually does. With high throughput and full programmability, unified GPUs matched with Cell's processing capabilities could very well be the "perfect console". IMHO

Im not saying the PS3 isnt good but the price of it is ridiculous, for the same price of the PS3 you can buy a Nintendo Wii and an XBOX 360 which i plan to do.

Well, you could always be a part-time hooker. I hear 14yr-olds are very desirable in these times. (joking)
