PS3 owners can look forward to; Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Grand Theft Auto IV (although that will no doubt come out for PC also), Devil May Cry 4, Resistance:Fall of Man, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Heavenly Sword...and those are just titles for around launch date. Would you like me to continue?

GTA IV is multi-platform, the PS3 and 360 versions are slated to launch on the same day (sometime in 2007...won't be launch for the PS3 unless the PS3 gets seriously delayed). There have been reports that Ninja Gaiden Sigma may also find its way to the 360 at some point (not really a stretch to imagine, given Tecmo's strong support of the original Xbox and the 360 in the past). I pegged you for an FF/MGS guy given your vehement defense of a console that isn't even out yet...I would definatly recommend the PS3 to anybody who loves those games and has to play them, or to someone who has to have a slow-read first gen Blu-ray drive built into their console (but that's about as far as I would go at this point, without seeing more than internet reports).
Its funny that you mention Perfect Dark Zero, because that games sucks IMHO
A lot of people like it but its not my cup of tea. The 360 version of GRAW is FAR superior to the other versions. Then you've got Dead Rising (you mentioned that), Saints Row, DoA4, all of the next-gen sports titles now (on a cheaper system!), Chromehounds, Enchanted Arms, Ninety-Nine Nights, Kameo, etc. On the way you've got Gears of War, Halo 3 (admittedly you don't care about this, but a lot of people do), Mass Effect, Too Human, Project Gotham Racing 4, Halo Wars (RTS), etc.
I also think the 360 has a big headstart when it comes to online play. I'm sure Sony's going to copy whatever they can from Xbox Live, but MS is already on their second generation of XBL. If PS3 online is similar to PS2 online its going to suck.
Personally, I don't play PC games as I don't like spending a ton of money on upgrading my PC whenever something new comes out...which means I don't mind the PC games making it over to the 360. I'd rather play online games on a console where everybody has a level playing field in terms of hardware.
I don't like getting into console wars, and it still remains to be seen how everything would shake out. I also wouldn't expect a PS3 price drop soon, and its probably likely that MS will match it when it happens, considering the 360 will have been out for quite a bit longer. I just happened to disagree with the blanket statement that says that a console that is not out yet is somehow way better than one that is already out, has similar graphics, and has good games available...it strikes of fanboyism.
Then there is the Wii...which is a complete wildcard in all of this.
