What is this nonsense? Neither console has any "system sellers" left. As far as exclusives go, for my tastes, 360 has several must have exclusives coming up in 2010 while PS3 has none.

PS3 has GT5. And FFXIII in Japan (but that's not nearly as big a deal as GT5).

 

At this point in the life cycle, GT is not a system seller.  In fact, there has probably only been 2 system sellers this generation, Halo and Wii sports, and most of Halo's system seller probably occurred prior to its launch.

GT5 is the first full GT of the gen and FFXIII is the first FF of the gen so they will be big and they will likely move some consoles. If anything, the systems push from Uncharted 2 has shown us that it is still possible for certain software to boost hardware sales. Uncharted 2 was a sequel to a franchise created this gen so it was a shock when we saw saw hardware boost (especially as you said, this late in the gen). GT5 and FFXIII are 2 established franchises comming out for the first time this gen.

Also this gen:

Gears of War

Metal Gear Solid 4

Killzone 2

All helped push their respective hardware to varying degrees.
