The XBox 360 shipped 38.7 million units by the end of 2009.
The PS3 sold to retail 33.5 million units by the end of 2009.

That's a 5.2 million gap.

The XBox 360 shipped 600K less units in 2009 than in 2008, if XBox 360 sales drop again by 600K in 2010 and the PS3 slim is able to achieve 15 million sales for 2010 as expected by many the PS3 will have overtaken the XBox 360 by the end of this year by a few hundred thousand units.

Lol, 360 drop by 600k again, even when this year it will have a slim, price drop, and console rebranding (and Natal)?  Not gonna happen.

PS3 15 million this year with no price drop, slim, or console rebranding this time (only Move this year)?  Not gonna happen.

An awful lot of assumptions you have there.

1. There's no guarantee that the slim will launch this year.
2. There's no guarantee that the 360 will have a price drop, especially if Microsoft plans to bundle Natal with every console.
3. There's no guarantee that Natal will move a significant amount of consoles.
4. There's no guarantee that PS3 won't have a price drop.

Also, I'd like to point out that I believe comparing the console moving potential of Halo: Reach vs. Gran Turismo 5 is silly. Halo has already had Halo 3, Halo Wars, and Halo 3: ODST all released on the 360, there really isn't a Halo fan that doesn't already own a 360. PS3 has Prologue, but there are millions of Gran Turismo fans that are waiting for Gran Turismo 5 before picking up PS3s.
