For more information, you can check the pages low. There's plenty information about the hardware, the games on each system, how many games there are with links to the games so you can find out more about them. Personally, I would go XBox 360.
I don't know which has more tourneys but if there are more then they are likely LAN which would have almost no lag at all. If you intend to play competitively online then I would recommend the XBox. The XBL service costs a little extra but you get what you pay for.
Even if that isn't true, at worst I've heard that the lag time is equal and never that PS3 has less lag. It is hard for a company to justify extra investment on something if they aren't pulling in money for it. Depending on the sports games you intend to play, however, you may want to go with a PS3.
Football will definitely be more popular on the 360 while baseball is probably equal. FIFA on the other hand is probably more popular on the PS3. This just has to do with who buys the consoles and who plays the games.
Worldwide, the systems are about as popular but the Xbox is far more popular in the states while the PS3 is far more popular in Japan.
I had to break up your word wall in Notepad to see what you wanted. ( try using some sentence spacing please). Ill try to answer as best as I can "Does PS3 truly lag more?
Do more people play online with one system over the other?" Yes. The ps3 has a considerable amount more lag than the 360 does, but this is mainly due to the over stressed servers thast are not very well maintained or upgraded.
----------- "Do more people cheat on one system over the other (or is that even possible on Virgin Gaming)? " both systems have players that cheat, but to be honest I don't usually see any players that do. ------------ "All in all, I am just looking for the better system to play sports games online" I prefer the 360 over the PS3 when it comes to online play because the servers are more stable and are usually well kept so most of the time lag is not much of a problem.
------------- "My friend mentioned it to me and I have read up on it and it looks like more tourneys and what not are done (esp. The big ones) on PS3 rather than Xbox..." to be honest your going to find a big crowd of players no matter which console you play on. You just have to know where to look and who to talk to.
--------------- Hope this helped a little bit.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
