It is true that PS3 doesn't have the games but that's because of it being an entire year younger but it's now catching up and has some very good exclusives.

This isn't really even true. Developments for both consoles started at similar times. The reason the games are so far behind for the PS3 is because the PS3 is a lot harder to program with, or at least get to grips with. With Resistance 2, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, and Metal Gear Solid 4 it's a rosier picture in terms of games, but not hugely.
As for XBL, the things which are really major are:
Cross game invites (Ability to send an invitation to anyone who has an XBOXLive account to join into your party/lobby/game. Also, players can 'join session')
Cross game chat (Ability to set up a private 1-2-1 chat with another member, no matter what you are doing)
Later in the year, Microsoft are bolstering the 1-2-1 chat, to an up to 8 person private chat. Whether the $50 a year is really worth it for what you get, is really down to the person. It doesn't really matter. They aren't competing features. The alternative to XBL isn't PSN, or vice-versa.
