It's widely believed, with substantial circumstantial evidence to back it up, that GT makes comparisons that are deliberately biased in favor of the 360 vs. the PS3. I don't think it's a "conspiracy theory" to think that this time they were a little too blatant, got a little too sloppy, and are paying for it.

Maybe it isn't true -- maybe they made an honest mistake with that last video. I'd certainly hope that they are not that stupid and lazy, even if they DO bias their videos. But I really don't think it's laughable, given their history, that it could be true.

If it was some other website, perhaps not one infamous for its huge pro-360 bias (or is it anti-PS3? -- don't know, don't care), then I would be more inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt. But it isn't that other site, it's Gametrailers.

EVERY website is known for a huge 360 and anti PS3 bias on this website.

As well as anti-wii bias for that matter.

I'll stay out of the doctored video footage discussion but people answer me this:

If GT is so pro-360, then why did Mario Galaxy edge out Halo 3 for the GOTY award 2007, and prevailed Twilight princess over Gears of War in 2006?

Not VGChartz, or Gamasutra, or Engadget (i think), or ...

But yeah, since 360 launched first and the hardcore XBox set heavily crosses over with the PC gaming set that often visits gaming websites, it makes sense that some sites would slant things to bring their clientele what they want to hear, even if untrue (like Fox News does with news....)

And then there are out and out falsehoods that never get retracted or apologized for, which have happened a number of times on  various sites, above and beyond just playing to your fanbase...
