Re: Japanese popularity of Dragon Ball vs. One Piece
The Dragonball series has 508 episodes, But if you include Kai it would be 605 episodes. But over the years Teenagers especially have been interested in Anime more then most things that you would expect kids to be in love with like Shoes and Twilight. What I'm trying to say is, Since Anime is more popular now, There are more people watching it in 3 Subs-groups, (Kids, Teens, and Adults). Back then Anime wasn't so interesting as it is now, As I recall. But in my honest opinion I guess it would be a Tie, Both Dragonball and One Piece are amazing Animes, and I defiantly recommend them to anyone who hasn't watched them yet.

Since OP is still popular, and since DBGT had sinking ratings, and they have nearly equal episode/movie counts, I guess that's more evidence OP is bigger overall as a whole. Ah if only Toriyama had stayed on... who knows how long the series could have lasted?

Dragon Ball only has more films because Toei began doing two films a year, each only fifty minutes. One Piece began doing ninety minute films (although nine and ten were about two hours long).

I may be biased because I have never read/watched One Piece, however, speaking of the peak of their popularity, I think Dragon Ball wins. At present, needless to say, OP kicks DB's ass.
Re: Japanese popularity of Dragon Ball vs. One Piece
I guess the easiest question to settle the debate would be....
Which one's made more money in Japan?
Of course, it'd probably be insanely difficult to count all merchandise, video game, dvd and other sales for each of the 2 series.
