Well in terms of the original idea of this thread, they are both still fighting for 2nd or whatever.

And while you make valid points, I think Ps3 will still surpass 360 in the long run. For a few reasons.

1) Blu ray won. Ever since that happened Sony has been gaining ground.
2) 360's sales are already questionable due to the hardware failures.. I wouldn't be suprised if more homes have Ps3s already. (Since people seem not to be able to buy just one 360)
3) Even though Kinect appears to be more innovative then move, I think Sony's overall package with the coming 3D games gives them a better case for the future

Also, I just want to point out that gran turismo is the most popular franchise in existance on the HD consoles.
1) FALSE. PS3 sales picked up when they dropped the price to 300 and released the Ps3 Slim. there's a reason they saw a 131% increase in hardware sales this quarter and it wasn't blu-rays
2) Its a non-issue since there is no way to track it, and I mean its not like people didn't upgrade from a Ps3 to a PS3 Slim.
3)
a) Kinect will sell better than Move because Kinect looks vastly different from the Wii so it doesn't have to prove itself to that audience. PS3 Move right now hasn't done anything that would push people who don't already have a PS3 to get it.
b) 3D won't do anything for the Ps3 until the price of TVs come down to a reasonable price, and even then there still isn't enough content to really warrant a purchase.

4) That's wrong right now. Since there has really been no GT released on HD consoles (I know Prologue was but more like an extended demo)
And even if that was the case, Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto sold better this gen then the best selling GT LAST gen. So it isn't the biggest franchise on HD consoles. Its Sony's biggest exclusive/brand.
