Except that the US counts for ~80-85% of the sales in America, especially on Black Friday week.  Which means the PS3 beat the 360 that year for Black Friday.  Unless you have proof otherwise?  I do have this article from VGChartz here.  Sure, it's talking all of Americas, but they still illustrates how big PS3 was that year.

That's not static. Just go look at last years BF Americas numbers

I'm talking strictly US (which is were BF is) but MS announced they sold more on BF (and Nov NPD) and then went on to lose Dec NPD to PS3, so while it was close they say they sold the most on BF. Last year and 07,08 were no contest obviously.

What do you think PS3 is gonna do in the U.S this BF week?

Links, please?  When you get them, I'm guessing MS was talking about Nov NPD, which is for the whole month.  Unless for some reason that year they broke it down for the week of Black Friday.  On VGC, where we do break it down by week, the 360 outsold the PS3 every week in Nov '09, except Black Friday week.  This accounts for the 360 still being ahead in Nov, even though it lost Black Friday.

Edit:  Oh, and as far as your question goes, 1 billion WW.  That's right, with a B.  But, considering I mentioned 360 in the same sentence, I expect it to do 1 billion, as well.  Though, that's just anecdotal, so the 360 may be a flop this BF, too.
