From what I hear, it's generally accepted that 3ds is much better for modelling and game creation, but that Maya is more commonly used for professional animations and scenes. This is not to say that they're not used for the other (they are to a large degree), but if you look at their credits (what big productions they've been used for) you'll see a larger number of video games listed for 3ds.
