As pointed out, you are not comparing apples with apples. Just because one store broke the street date, that is why. There is no way we can make a 1:1 comparison so let's just say both did very well.

Actually it seems Selnor wants to count the week that a few stores broke the street date as the launch because it makes the 360 Slims launch seem bigger.  But, it actually makes it look worse.  I mean you had a week of the PS3's old model plus street date broken Slims selling at $299, and yet the PS3 was still able to sell over 160K the following week (the Slims real launch).  In one of its weakest regions, to boot.

And the 360 S launch was a surprise soft launch with little availability so it is really a wash.  PS3 had a couple of weeks to get the word out that the Slim was coming.
