Considering their past history and blatant lies when it comes to comparison videos I don't believe this explanation one bit.
May I remind you that first they claimed to compare HD version for PS3 and 360 (i.e. Assassin's Creed). People questionned the fact the PS3 version always looked washed out and blurry and asked them to turn on some options on the PS3 so the image would look better.
GT replied they won't because they only use default settings and cables (which implied PS3 footage was actually in SD). Fans asked GT to compare whats comparable and record HD footage, which GT denied saying it was technically impossible to record from HDMI, and illegal.
Pressured by public opinion GT released a comparaison video nonetheless, but instead of comparing a multiplatform game, they went with a SD/HD comparison of Uncharted. People pointed out GT said no HDMI recording was possible, to which GT suddenly remembered they had a PS3 debug all along.
People once again asked for a fair comparison video of a multiplatform game. GT released a messy video of Burnout paradise comparing SD/HD in both 360 and PS3 at the same time.
Using PS3 footage labelled as 360 footage is just the last straw. They obviously inteded to make us believe that the moon is made of green cheese, but failed miserably to cover their tracks.
