We're already seeing how it turns out. PS3 did less than Wii in October US, but was ahead in November further, it had a bigger boost in every respect you can think of, and don't even get me started on X360 November in US, it more than doubled Wii hw sales.

I find it hilarious how Ninty fans are like this, just auto expect Wii to be on top. I don't think so, it's a rapidly declining console ...

We will have to wait to get the confirmation, if these numbers are like the Japan preview and his 200-600k range estimation for Vita debut....

Sure, ignore facts

And you clearly have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to data on this site.

There is one thing I have a hard time believing. The PS3 came off November, were they were 370k up compared to last year. If I made my math right, in 3 weeks in December, the PS3 is up 80k compared to last year, seems short to me (correct me if I am wrong).

As Mordred11 posted, if we compare to last year, this weak PS3 only sold 16k more, with more quality games and less 50 dollars.

But hey, we have to roll with these numbers. If true, disappointing increase for the PS3 on a December month were price is important.

Perhaps it's because the $199 PS3 holiday bundle was so hot on BF, and there hasn't been any since. X360 has had a lot of deals this month. That's my only explanation anyway.

That is a very plausible justification. How can Sony not make this Holiday Bundle available in big numbers (US only) besides BF is beyond me. Even if they lost money on those, they would get it back with software these guys would buy in the future.

I guess Sony keeps sleeping on sales, I don´t complain, but it´s not good for them in the long term, losing opportunities left and right. Can´t wait for NPD and shipment numbers to see huge numbers for PS360.

Let's not forget about market saturation and the 360 going gangbusters in the US this year.

The single fact that it manages to stay up YoY is impressive,at least in my opinion.
