On top of that, it's wireless out of the box, hard drive is included and developers can utilize that, and it has compatibility with more formats.

Cell hasn't exactly impressed like it had promised, and the VRAM in PS3 leaves a lot to be desired. Microsoft designed Xbox around PC hardware which was familiar to developers, which is why Xbox looked good on day 1, and still looked good on its death bed.
Sony continues to design hardware requiring complex code, and redesigning engines. That's poor engineering. Sony got away with it last gen because they had the numbers, people had no choice but to take the time to learn the system. That's not a factor this time around. Ps3 doesn't have the install base, and has already shown plenty of signs of poor design. Even if it's not the most powerful hardware, it's running better software, and has a much better SDK.
