So can some one explain to me how is 360 still almost double what it used to be prior to GOW3 release and after 3 weeks of GOW3 release? Numbers doesnt add up.

Its due to the holiday boost.

If you are confused as to why 360 sales are falling in America but not EMEAA. Its because gears of war is huge in America, while just "big" in EMEAA. Fifa 2012(360) gave the xbox another big boost in EMEAA because its a HUGE game in EMEAA. Its relatively small in America so it didn't give america a boost. Now its starting to go down slightly from the Fifa boost, but thats somewhat negated by the typical holiday boost and a few new releases this week.

Its always entertaining when 360 has a decent lead over ps3 and its up to Japan to decide who wins the week. Keeps me excited for the normally boring Japan sales to finally show up, or at least media create sales.

So how is 360 huge in terms of FIFA where it got double the typical sales numbera where PS3 got only 25% increase, nevertheless, FIFA on PS3 has sold 40% more in EMEEA. Not only that, the  FIFA bundle was exclusive to PS3?

Fifa gives PS3 and X360 a boost (check last years numbers). This year Fifa boost and Gears boost overlap so X360 numbers are much higher than usual in EMEAA.

Overlap? Come on. GOW3 is not big in Europe compared to USA. It only sold 78,000 copies this week. I dont see any overlap with 78,000 copies sold.
