Doubt it to be honest. But I think they will be closer this time in sales.

Closer?
They are only 500k apart and that was from a time when
a) the 360 had still a massive lead
b) the PS3 was expensive as hell and no one could have afford it
c) Microsoft had Exclusive Deals and had a marketing where people could think its a 360 exclusive

The PS3 version will outsell the 360 version and that with a bigger gap than 500k at the end.
Europe will push it over.

Interesting take.  Could happen.

Back then in the US (the biggest market by FAR for GTA):

360 9.7m

PS3 4.7m

Now:

360 38.8m

PS3 23.8m

 

So I dont think the install base back then tells us anything at all. 

The install bases for both is much much higher. It can go either way. 

But given the game, given the demographic and given the US install base of the 360... I say a 360 win.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make.  According to your numbers PS3's US market share (strictly versus 360) has grown:  32.6% has increased to 38.0%

 

EDIT: Or have I done some math wrong because PS3 gaining market share in US doesn't seem correct?
