Xbox 360 outsold PS3 because it’s, say it with me, CHEAPER. NXB is a waste of a download. That’s also why the Wii is still the console everyone wants, because lord knows they have few games to keep my interests.

As for room for expansion, I don’t know. Sure, Microsoft can update the hardware, but that only helps new adopters. Sony’s firmware upgrades help all PS3 owners, without needing to buy new hardware. Room for expansion reminds me of how easy and cheap it was to swap out my 60 gig PS3 HDD with a 320 gig, as opposed to buying that way-overpriced 360 120 gig HDD..

Yea I like the 360 a lot more than the PS3 (I don’t own a PS3 )but when you say the 360 has more room to expand it comes off kind of fanboyish.

I think the xbox has a lot of room to expand hardware-wise more than the PS3 because the PS3 is a superior machine. Wifi included and blu-ray are undeniably better than not having those things. Thus, xbox has much room to expand. The fact that xbox has the superior game library is undeniable as well, thus the 2-1 sales lead. I bought a PS3 because my primary interest was blu-ray movies. If I wanted a gaming console for the sake of gaming, the xbox is the obvious choice and consumers know that.

How does the Xbox have more room to expand?

From my reading, the Xbox is reaching the limits of the hardware with games like GoW2 and it certainly has reached the max capacity of DVD. From a hardware perspective the Xbox has very little room to expand from here. If you are referring to software then both have limitless expandability because you can do anything with software.
