In my original post I asked who was going to win in HD world :P

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

That can be read both ways. Pre blu ray victory, Ps3 was a lot worse in sales. Post blue ray victory, Ps3 gained ground. That is a fact.

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.

Everyone I know with a 360 has gotten a replacement one now. I'm pretty it's a big factor and has helped their sales numbers.

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.

Time will tell.
And you don't need a 3D TV to play the 3D games in 3D.

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.

Wow, making up facts now are we? No modern warfare game has topped the 14 million mark set by GT3, and if you want to count multiple games, GT3 and GT4 sold 25 million. The top 3 selling Call of duty games on 360 combined sold around 15 million, and the 2 Ps3 ones sold about 6 million.
So GT still remains the most popular franchise that is available on the HD consoles, and obviously I'm talking from a historical standpoint. GT1-4 sold over 40 mil. It puts the other non-nintendo "juggernauts" (GTA, MGS, CoD, FF) to shame. I don't think it's fair to downplay it quite yet.
-EDIT-
I just noticed you said Gran theft auto sold more this gen too, the whopping 7 million combined between Ps3 and 360 isn't even HALF of GT3. I'm curious where you're getting these numbers from now,
