485/31 = 15.64 388/28 = 13.85, not quite the same.
Right, but this isn't how sales are reported. A fiscal month is exactly 4 weeks or exactly 5 weeks. The fiscal month of January (not the same thing as what we think of as the normal calendar month of January) was exactly 5 weeks, or 35 days. The fiscal month of February will be exactly 4 weeks, or 28 days. So it's 485/35 = 388/28. It's just how businesses measure to make things a little easier to analyze.
Eques, if people are attacking the 360, just remember it's because the 360 is winning. 
It's easy to attack the guy on top, because he only has one way to go, down. 360 is still in the lead by a pretty big margin in NA and Europe (sorry MS, Japan hates you), and they had a hugely successful holiday season even competing with the launches of both the PS3 and the Wii (in fact they were the #1 seller over the holidays).
