The PS4 and XO may have been out for a little over a year, but 7th gen is not ready to die just yet. So for gamers who aren't ready for new 8th gen consoles. Which would you recommend them? PS3 or Xbox 360?
If you like sci fi, go 360 for Halo. If you like gritty storytelling, go PS3 for The Last of Us. There are other exclusives, and 360 has better ports and a better network for online multiplayer. What friends have is another factor as well as price.

I would recommend PS3 just because Online Multiplayer isn't locked behind a paywall. Although I do prefer 360 personally but I own a PS3 now and not a 360 because of that paywall
People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

I reccomend a PS3. Sony has a wide variety of first-party games that should fit what you like. Unless you really want Halo or Gears then definitally go for a PS3. Be sure to pick up Uncharted, inFamous, and Sly Cooper if you do.
It seems like that 2015 and on, PS3 and 360 is going to be getting nothing but sports games, movie games, and cross-gen games, but the PS3 and 360 both have a huge library of games that you can play right now.

I prefer 360 but that's because of the exclusives and the controller. Best I can tell you is to just look at exclusives for each and see which appeals most to you.

Both are great systems, but I would choose the PS3 due to the exclusives and HD compilations. That being said, I dislike the dual shock 3, so buy yourself the vastly superior dual shock 4.
The 360 is a great system as well, quite a few of the multiplats are superior and how can you go wrong with Halo and Gears of War.

But the PS3 is still getting lower budget exclusives from japanese developers, and cross gen games as well like Metal Gear Solid 5.

While this is true, I think it's becoming pretty obvious that developers are starting to move past the 7th gen, while consumers already have (nobody expected sales of the PS3 and 360 to drop off as fast as they did, both in terms of hardware and software). 2014 will probably be remembered as the last bug hurrah for the 7th gen.
PS3 seems to have a lot more exclusive games, especially of the niche variety. It also helps that Playstation Plus is there, and you can get the games for other systems, too, as long as you go on Sony's website and get them. That way, you can build a pretty sizable library for PS4 and Vita too.
However, 360 has some too. Gears of War, Halo, Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odyssey, among others.
Honestly, they're both cheap, and the games for them are the cheapest they're going to get. I suppose the controllers could be a factor too? I don't know. I'd recommend both.

I upgraded the HDD in my PS3 this year and renewed my PS+ but I must admit that I hardly play on the PS3 these days. I still have a large backlog on the Wii U to play through and even with games that are (arguably) beter on PS3 (like Watch Dogs) I still prefer to get the Wii U version. I prefer the quiet Wii U and the ease of having it all on the HDD.
If you need to choose between PS3 or a 360 I would go for the PS3. To me the exclusives on PS3 are way beter. Games like the Last of Us come to mind. I had a 360 but I sold it (its even louder then the PS3). The fact that anything you purchase won't work if you upgrade to a PS4 or One makes it a difficult recommendation. The Wii U has a unique feature with its backward compatibility for Wii (and even Gamecube if you are willing to hack) I mis this in the other Next Gens.

The main factors nowadays to help you choose between PS3 and Xbox 360 is exclusives, and what your friends own. If you are a big FPS multiplayer type then probably a 360 with exclusives like Halo and Gears would be a good choice for you while if you are into gritty story driven games then a PS3 with games like The Last of Us, Journey etc is a good choice . But if you are really into online multiplayer with your friends then it helps to get the one most of them have.

They're both good, and you basically get the same games on both systems except for exclusives (which Sony has more of). It could also depend on what your friends have.
I picked the PS3 over the 360 almost five years ago because of exclusives, and I've never regretted it for a minute.
I guess the controller could also be a factor? I don't know.
Hrm... I think the PS3 wins out (I owned a 360, though). By the end of the 360's lifespan you had a few big exclusive runs: Halo, Gears of War, and... uhm... Fable? Honestly, I'm drawing a blank. A lot of it was multi-platform stuff, especially near the end.
But Playstation has Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank, Little Big Planet, Last of Us, Uncharted, God of War, and I'm sure a few others I'm forgetting. By the end of the generation I was a little ticked that I sunk so much into the 360 and the exclusives turned out to be pretty sparse.
Ps3 has better exclusives, and more at the end of its run, Xbox 360 has XBLA and stronger FPS but gave up on exclusives by the end of its life. I would go Ps3 unless you prefer FPS shooters as your main games.
