| johnsobas said: i saw this on gaf before, everyone was saying that the number includes black friday week, but does not include the week ending january 2nd. They had a footnote on a different site that posted the exact dates.
edit: basically vgchartz is probably right on. |
Not the same announcement.
The previous announcement was about the PS3 selling 1.7M in the US from November 23 to December 27, the kotaku article even mentions the previous announcement. This announcement is about the PS3 selling 90% more hardware in December than what it did the previous year(putting the PS3 at about 1.4M for the month).
Edit: Here is the press release:

I don't think the press release mentions the 1.7M figure, it was announced by Kaz Hirai during Sony's CES event.
