I voted PS4, but there is a chance I'd get both because I could see that darn Kaz giving the PS3 a few unique goodies to make it appealing.

The existence of a GT6 on PS4 seems conditional on not getting everything PD want in GT6 working on PS3. In that sense, if a PS4 version is announced, the PS3 version cannot be considered "complete". That may mean GT6 on PS4 is worthwhile, depending on the time scale between GT6 PS3 (and the launch of PS4), the PS4 version of GT6 and then GT7.
It might also mean, for those without a PS3, that GT6 isn't worthwhile on PS3. I can't see an argument, except to save money / trade-in for a PS4 (or XBone / whatever), against getting GT6 on PS3 either way for those that already have a PS3, unless the game disappoints massively somehow.
So, practically, the answer is probably "both" for those with a PS3 and looking to get a PS4 at some point (unless there's only one version, i.e. PS3 only), as presumably people will be wanting GT7 at some point as well, and a GT6 on PS4 (bearing in mind what I said in the first paragraph) should tide things over nicely until GT7 actually arrives.
I personally think there should be some kind of incentive for PS3 GT6 owners to get the PS4 version, if it materialises, perhaps discounted in some way, or through PS-Gaikai (I can see Sony using it to lure PS3 owners to PS4, by offering demos of PS4 games on PS3 via remote streaming) etc.

Voted "only PS4", but the choice depends on a couple of factors.
1. Frame rate in GT5 is at times horrible. Hopefully the new rendering engine will fix this, if not a PS4 version surely would.
2. My Fanatec gear works brilliantly on the PS3, hopefully it will continue to do so on PS4.
3. The enigma; if Xbox One supports my Fanatec I will purchase Forza 5 with an XOne on launch. Sadly this leaves me with less economy for GT6, which means I'd buy the PS3 version. If the XOne doesn not support my Fanatec; no Forza and no XOne. Which means more money for GT6 and PS4.
Please don't hate me for reason 3. I've been a big GT fan for years, but for me GT5 was a bit of a let down. Being a single player I would have liked to see more events in A-Spec, something Forza4 certainly has in abundance.
Having said that, I'll still buy GT6 on launch day and still be giddy like a child when it's time to insert the disc.
