Playstation is simply a better system when you look at the hardware. When comparing which system is better I refuse to take games into account. Now if you are talking about which system you should buy then the games matter. But just because Xbox might be the better purchase for the games you want to play doesn't mean it is the better built system. Edit 1 The fan base is alot more mature on Playstation, typically Xbox fans are from the game cube generation and younger were as Playstation are from the n64 generation and older.
