There is an age old debate about which gaming system is the better one, Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. It all depends on one's preference. There are advantages and disadvantages to each gaming console.

Sony and Microsoft are coming out with the next generation consoles to appeal to their loyal fans and hopefully gain new ones, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Each of those, in their
