Which is awful IMO. PS3 has a chance to outship 360 this Q, which means Kinect hasn't been as successful as MS are touting it. The blame lies soely on them, there is something they're doing that's wrong, whether it be failing to break into new markets or w.e

U.S sales are up 1 million over 2008, so that means sales are down everywhere else WW 700k this Q. So Kinect has had little impact elsewhere than UK and U.S ... for some reason

Kinect is only partionally function outside US and UK.  It will be interesting to see what happens to demand once voice control goes live to the rest of europe.

Plus, MS blew Nintendo out of the water for profits for the quarter.  Likely at least $200 to $300 million better.

Not so much it seems.

"The entertainment and devices portion of Microsoft (EDD) which houses X360, saw revenues of $3.698b  for the quarter, with profits of $679m."

"Thus the nine-month profit of 49.557b Yen ($602.9m) indicated Nintendo profit reached 51.57b Yen ($627m) for the three months ending December 2010."

And that's with the biggest thing ever, Kinect, launching that quarter.

Pretty damn impressive if you ask me.  What is the combined user base of DS and Wii owners that were purchasing software this holiday season?  Not to mention no businesses in the same division that are losing money bringing down the numbers for EDD.
