Android accounts for one-quarter of mobile web traffic
Android is mopping up Apple and RIM's declining mobile mindshare in the US, you'll find nothing but corroboration from Quantcast. The analytics firm reckons a full one-quarter of mobile web traffic stateside comes from devices running Google's OS

Okay, so now the inevitable price comparison.
$350 Xbox 360 w/ HDMI and 20 GB
$15 Play 'n Charge kit
$180 HD-DVD Player + Remote
$545
$500 PS3 w/ HDMI and 60 GB
$25 Remote
$15 Headset
$540
Now they are equivalently priced.
PS3 has Wi-Fi, 360 doesn't at your price.
Also, the PS3 has no HD output cable still, although you can get one for as little as $10.
$350 Xbox 360 w/ HDMI and 20 GB
$500 PS3 w/ HDMI and 60 GB
are the only numbers that really matter. you might as well go :
$350 Xbox 360 w/ HDMI and 20 GB
$150 of Jellybeans and Cotton Candy
$500 PS3 w/ HDMI and 60 GB
contrary to what you might imply you do not need the HD-DVD drive to *play games*.
THE CANADIAN COMPARISON for us canucks
PS3 w/80gb hd and HDMI - $650
Remote - $40
Headset - $30
HDMI Cable minimum - $80-150 at futureshop (largest Canadian electronic retailer)
300 (the movie for Blu Ray (comes with hddvd drive)) - $30
Total - $800-$870
Xbox 360 Elite w/hdmi, 120gb & cable - $500
HD DVD addon - $199
Play&Charge Kit - $30
Halo 3 (a much better game but same price as motor storm) - $70
I'm sorry, Canada matters to me how?

Well dear sir, I implore you to give these comparisons their due. The idea behind them is to match up all the features, along the lines of, "anything yours can do, mine can do cheaper".
You're spot on when you say the system cost is really all that matters, because each case is different. Some people don't need wifi, so the 360 saves them money. Some don't like Blu-ray, so the 360 also saves them money. Some people don't like to buy many games, so the PS3 saves them money. Haha, I kid, I kid. But in all seriousness, some people want wifi and blu-ray, so the PS3 is the natural choice. But to say one is cheaper than the other when you throw in peripherals, it just doesn't work, as you suggest.
TLDR: Santa's elves are actually gnomes.
