Which one is better, why, and who has better (or more) games?

Well, 360 has more games currently, hands down. In regards to exclusives, PS3 has lost many 3rd party exclusives due to their dismal sales. Had the PS3 come out when the 360 did, they would not have lost them. Game companies need multi-million units of their games sold to turn enough profit to continue. In regards to the 1st party exclusives, both companies offer very similar options (ie GT vs Forza ).
Comparatively speaking, both systems will pretty much run even this time around. The PS3 will have an advantage in the long term do to some new hardware, bluetooth + the built in Blue-ray drive, but it is still pretty pricey right now.
I'd go with a 360 for right now. By the end of the summer, the PS3 may or may not get a price cut, but it will definitely have a package offering where it will come with some free games, a 2nd controller etc, for the same price tag it is now, just like the 360 summer bundle (PG3, 3month live, 1250pts) did and they still continue to bundle.
