Let's just pretend you didn't say that and you can pretend that I am not saying: "JRPG is a linear adventure game with rpg stat building elements and thus the real RPGs are released exclusively on computers".
As I said, lets pretend none of that was said so we don't sidetrack this topic.
Sosseres:
When comparing xbox 360 and ps3 something like : http://www.industrygamers.com/news/ps3-outshining-xbox-360-in-exclusives-category-shows-metacritic-data/ is nice. Shows that at first both consoles were good, 360 being earlier had a larger library. Then the ps3's releases kicked in and, well... Though to be fair, it has been a year since that was posted.
It is also flawed in that it considers exclusives without considering the PC a platform. Bioware has no exclusives on consoles as far as I know, yet is listed as a big plus on the xbox side.
It is interesting that in EU PS3 is larger than Xbox 360, while the reverse is true in the US.

I see a few one reason to get Playstation 3. If I ever would need a Blu-ray player, I would get a PS3, you know why? Because so far where I live PS3 is cheaper than dedicated blu-ray players or the same price.

I can get a good Blu-Ray player for 700NOK(133$) here. A PS3 is 2000NOK(381$). Don't see where you would get a PS3 for less than 700 NOK.

Considering how few RPGs are released for PC there are some decent ones on PS3. If you don't have a 360 then a ps3 is the better choice. If you have a 360 and computer then getting a ps3 on top of it doesn't seem like that good of an idea. Even though the PS3 is better in every way than the 360.

I don't buy a console for the exclusives, well I do buy Nintendo consoles for the exclusives, but still. Multi-platform games look better on the 360, imo, they do not look any better on the Ps3, they do take a lot longer to load on the ps3, though. And you sometimes need to install the game before playing on the ps3... The stronger hardware does nothing for multi-platform games, if you have an example tell me. Like I said, I don't see a good reason to buy a playstation instead of a 360, it is not better in any significant way. Multi-platform games tend to run better on the xbox, actually, because it so much easier to make games for(at least that's what a number of developers say). I mostly play online, which makes xbox the better choice. It has better voice chat, a better store, is often favored by developers and seems to connect to other players better. And has MUCH less updates. Oh, and doesn't give away your credit card information, or go offline for a week. Yes, it costs per month, but it is by far worth it.

Which are the awesome ones?

Uncharted, God of War 3, Infamous, LBP2, The Sly Collection, one of the Ratchet & Clanks, Valkyria Chronicles, Yakuza 3 and 4, Demon's Souls, and Killzone 3 are most of what I've played so far, and they're all fucking awesome. PS3's also got some pretty cool downloadable games. So far the only ones that I have are Noby Noby Boy and a few PS1 classics, but I've played stuff like Fat Princess and Trash Panic, and they were all pretty fun too.
Almost forgot to mention the new Team Ico game and that Ico/SoTC HD collection thing they're releasing. I'd buy a PS3 for those two things alone.

Games aren't actually much of an argument, seeing as which games are important is purely preference. As an example, the only games on your list that I find interesting are Uncharted and Infamous, with Uncharted barely making the cut. Infamous seems to have some cool mechanics, but still not worth 350$, tho.
