I wouldn't call these two controversial. Most Wanted 2012 was a superb game that included a lot of stuff from Burnout that felt at home in NFS. The 2005 game is great, but it can't compete with the incredible open world of the 2012 game. For me, MW 2012 is up there with the 2 Underground games.
I also think that the 360 is a vastly superior machine to the PS3. It was cheaper to manufacture, easier to develop for and it basically matched the Ps3 in power. PS3 was expensive and failed to be more powerful ("power of the Cell", what a joke). It managed to cost way more to be manufactured without any big advantage. I am not saying that the 360 had better games, but it was a better machine for sure. Sony competed using their firsty party output and brand name basically, because the hardware itself was a disaster.
The only argument I think people could use to invalidate the superiority of the 360 is that it basically couldn't work reliably until 2008-9, it was a freaking disaster. I believe that the reason why MS didn't wipe the floor with Sony was because when they finally figured out how to build a X360 that wouldn't break in a month Sony already had figured out how to make a cheap PS3, developers had (kind of) figured out how to make 3rd party games not run terribly on it and the 1st party output was great at this point.
