@ZorroX, my numbers don't indicate Xbox 360 doing better than last year, but I am comparing it to itself and not to PS3's 2008 numbers. Cause there really is no good reason to compare it to PS3 when this has very different strong and weak markets than Xbox 360. Xbox 360 is selling close to last years numbers in the Americas, about 50% of its sales in Others and I didn't bother to check Japanese numbers since they'll be insignificant to its total holiday sales. That is a completely different situation than saying its worldwide sales are only 2 third of last year sales since the US sees a much bigger holiday bump compared to Japan.
