Few notes:
1) Microsoft said that they sold 310,000 on Black Friday last year - US only
2) VGC includes numbers for Canada (7-8%) and Mexico (3-5%) along with US numbers
3) Microsoft "estimated" the 25% increase
So the question becomes:
What if the X360 actually increased more than 25% once everything was said & done?
What if the 310,000 didn't include weekly sales?
Depending on how one answers those 2 questions, you could get a number anywhere from 400,000 at the low end, to 500,000+ on the high end - well within what VGC has stated.
And for official numbers, lets use what's available, as per Microsoft's statements:
1. The X360 sold 310,000 on Black Friday in 2007...310,000
2. There was a 25% increase this year....387,500
3. There is another 12% increase for CAN and Mexico...434,000
So 434,000 would be a realilistic median for what Microsoft states that they sold during Black Friday.

Why would you add in Black Friday numbers before you multiply it by 112% to fingure Canada and Mexico? Times 310 by 12% = 37k. Then you times 310 by 125% 388k then you ad the 37k 425. I also don't believe MS sold 310k in one day. That's just me though.

...Because we've seen similar increases outside of the United states, and they should reflect the increase as well? PAL says that the X360 increased sales by ~30% versus last week, so I'm only including said jump in other non-US territories too.
