With the NPD data continuing to trickle in, we now see that 1.21 million units of the PS3 were sold during December. That's certainly not bad but it represents an 11% decline, versus Xbox 360's 42% jump. The last two months of the year are the two most important in the gaming business when everyone shops for the holidays. With December in the rear-view, totals can be added, and we see that PS3's total for November-December is just 1.74 million compared to Xbox 360's whopping 3.27 million.

That represents a difference of 88%, and it has to be somewhat disappointing for Sony. We still don't know how many units of Move have truly been sold through to consumers - last we heard, Sony announced it had shipped over 4 million units. Worse still, the lone 'AAA' title for PS3 this holiday season was Gran Turismo 5, and it didn't even make the top 10 chart.

While some analysts believe the PS3 will soon pass the Xbox 360 in installed base worldwide, these past couple months certainly don't point towards that. On the bright side, Sony does indeed have a very stacked exclusive games lineup for 2011.

Have they seen the numbers outside of the US?

Well they wouldn't have said worldwide, if the indications weren't there.
