To those who have X-Box 360's and Playstation 3's, you all must know about the war going on about which is better.
Well we finally have a winner.
Clearly the better system is the Playstation 3. Hell yeah. (http://gear.ign.com/articles/111/1116182p1.html)

PS3 has no games.
Heavy Rain, Little Big Planet, Folklore, Demon's Souls, Disgaia 3, God of War 1-3, Eyepet, Gran Turismo 5, InFamous 1-2, MAG, MGS 4, Pain, Flower, 3 Ratchet and Clank games, Ridge Racer 7 (Making two of the biggest name racers PS3 exclusive, btw), Time Crisis 4, Twisted Metal, Uncharted 1-2, Warhawk, Yakuza 3-4, and both White Knight Chrobnicles games would like to have a word with you, Danny.
Seriously? This again? I thought this was settled in the previous one hundred gazillion threads that popped up on the Internet ever since the consoles came out. I'll just point out something form the article you linked, Wolfman:
In the end, what matters is how developers and publishers choose to take advantage of each console.That's what matters way more than the specs. What's the point of having a strong CPU when most developers don't use it's full power (and they don't)? What's the point of having like 25Gb of space on the drive when most games are about 10Gb? What's the point of having 7.1 surround audio output when there's maybe 5% of people that can actually use it? And don't even get me started on the games and exclusives. Pretty much for every Gran Turismo there's a Forza Motorsport and vice versa. Also, I find it interesting how that article conveniently left out online support, in which Xbox would probably score a another victory.
Now, I'm not arguing that PS3 is on paper a more polished, more powerful system. Facts don't lie. But better? There are no winners this time around, kid. With about 40 million Xbox360 sold and about 30+ million of PS3s, with most games coming out on all platforms, they both win. It's like arguing is Ferrari better than the Porsche. It doesn't matter which one you have, you're gonna have a blast.
Then again, I have both (systems, not cars, unfortunately) so I don't really care. I play most of my stuff on the Xbox and the PC because I can get games for those systems pretty much for free, and the PS3 games cost about 80-85$ each here, so I just play the exclusives that really interest me on the PS3.

It took you 4 years to figure out their specs? How is this news? Their specs were posted BEFORE they even came out. EVERYONE knew that the PS3 was more powerful, but it was also... you know... a lot more expensive. The Xbox 360 was considered a cheaper alternative, and it turns out since nobody makes games that took full advantage of the PS3's specs, when you compare dual releases to both consoles, their quality is marginally different.
Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2, Yakuza 3
I shortened your list to the actual Good Games For PS3 format.

This only covers your perspective. I'm not a fan of Yakuza, Ridge Racer, or Gran Turismo. They were listed because they are big name exclusives for the PS3 that appeal to their specific demographics. Just because you didn't like Heavy Rain doesn't mean I don't think it's a freaking masterpiece.

I own all three current gen systems, and by far I play my 360 way more. Actually my PS3 collects dust until I feel like playing Disgaea 3 or finally get around to finishing Heavy Rain. There just aren't enough exclusive titles to catch my attention, and the presentation is lack luster as far as I'm concerned.
