PS3 slowly converting 360 fans?

News - New survey rules in favour of Sony

A new piece of research conducted by Gameplan Insights (thanks Gamasutra) suggests that games players may be gradually opting to play the big new multi-platform releases on the PS3 rather than the Xbox 360.

Apparently, big festive releases like Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed II could be helping to push people over to the Sony side.

According to the new research it is major titles like these that show a trend away from the 360, the findings citing 15 percent of Assassin's Creed Xbox 360 owners, who are on the brink of purchasing the sequel on the PS3.

On the other hand, 7 percent of those owning the original on PS3 are buying the sequel on the Xbox 360 - a similar shift is said to be evident in sales of Modern Warfare 2.

What are your thoughts? Is the PS3 slowly making headway with so-called 'core' gamers?
