We have:

Americas:

Wii - 3,039,160
NDS - 2,552,744
360 - 2,546,701
PS3 - 1,201,311
PSP - 527,647

 

US (I'm using the 87% figure):

Wii - 2,644,069
NDS - 2,220,887
360 - 2,215,630
PS3 - 1,045,141
PSP - 459,053

December = 5 weeks

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 28th Nov 2010 to 01st Jan 2011:

 

Console	Wii	PS3	X360	PSP	DS	PS2
America	3,629,670	1,411,355	2,996,802	610,847	3,088,272	442,796

So, the equivalent US figure for VGChartz estimate for 360 is right at 2.6M. I have a feeling that VGChartz will be the most accurate of the predictions for the 360 this month.

MS did announce 8M Kinects shipped by the end of the year, and Greenberg said that shipped almost equaled sold to consumers, so US sales of 360 of just 1.9M seems awfully low. I don't buy it.
