From Major Nelson’s blog:
The four key owners of id Software were on G4tv last night, and they had some interesting quotes that I thought I’d highlight in case you missed them:
John Carmack: “Xbox 360 has far and away the best development tools�
John Carmack: “[talks about software development support]…and the hardware is comparable�
Geoff: “So you don’t think PS3 is going to more powerful [than Xbox 360]?�
John Carmack: “PS3 is probably marginally more powerful, in terms of raw flops and graphic operations, but that’s not really the best way to look at things. When you look at these development cycles that stretch over years and years, being 20% easier to develop on is much more important than being 20% more powerful.�John Carmack: “I make little nitpicky decisions about say, well, I prefer the symmetric approach that MS has over the asymmetric Cell approach, but you can do great games on either one of them, and I make fundamental decisions based on development tools and depth of documentation, which Microsoft has been superior on.�
Though some people would want me to point out that 20% is just an arbitrary number not to be taken at litteral value (he also says “marginally more powerfulâ€?, 20% is not marginal) the point I want to make here is about the philisophy behind the development environment and “making it easy to code for“. That’s what XNA is all about.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

I think the difference in the consoles is not so much the hardware as it is the software. The 360 has a lot of games that are otherwise only available on the PC. But the PS3 has some killer apps like Metal Gear Solid 4. IMO any serious gamer should be interested in both.
