PS3 vs Xbox 360

Help me decide! Everyone and their dog plays Xbox, but I can't understand why. The PS3 is superior in almost every way. The first Xbox 360's didn't even come with HDMI or WiFi and it's still playing catch-up. It's frustrating to me that developers design their games around the 360 when the PS3 is a better console. It is also even more frustrating that I can't play the same game my friend has even though we have different consoles. If I was to play Counter Strike on my Gateway running windows 95, I could play against my friend on his Alienware running Windows 7 and it wouldn't cost extra because I'm already paying for internet service.

For me, these are the pros and cons for each:

PS3
+ GT5
+ Blu Ray
+ Free online play
- No one seems to play
- Possibly due to the seemingly superior online Xbox experience

Xbox
+ Everyone and their dog
+ Ability to play custom soundtrack
- Very poor reliability. I've heard as many as 55% suffer from RROD
- $60 a year for something that should be free
- Bulky power supply
