Considering that 'statistical tie' is a boring answer, I'm going to go with the 360. Due to the PS3's architecture, MS can always keep the 360 cheaper. The 360 could easily be sold for $99-$129 at some foreseeable point in the future, whereas I doubt the PS3 will ever hit that price.

 

Additionally, the 360 seems more likely to keep getting madden/CoD ports for longer into the next gen than the PS3 will, which, coupled with it's lower price will make it quite attractive to many.

Then why wont MS just do the price cut now since Ps3 has been outselling xbox 360 basically the whole year.

If there are any price cuts this year, they will all be waiting for E3 to announce them, it gets the biggest press coverage, so more consumers will know about the price drop, i certainly bet if you asked the average gamer on the street in Europe they wouldnt know the PSP had just had a price cut. 

E3 is also bang in the middle of the slow sales period so its a good time to start the boost, a price cut can give, giving it time to build momentum up to xmas.
