There is one thing I have a hard time believing. The PS3 came off November, were they were 370k up compared to last year. If I made my math right, in 3 weeks in December, the PS3 is up 80k compared to last year, seems short to me (correct me if I am wrong).

As Mordred11 posted, if we compare to last year, this weak PS3 only sold 16k more, with more quality games and less 50 dollars.

But hey, we have to roll with these numbers. If true, disappointing increase for the PS3 on a December month were price is important.

Perhaps it's because the $199 PS3 holiday bundle was so hot on BF, and there hasn't been any since. X360 has had a lot of deals this month. That's my only explanation anyway.

That is a very plausible justification. How can Sony not make this Holiday Bundle available in big numbers (US only) besides BF is beyond me. Even if they lost money on those, they would get it back with software these guys would buy in the future.

I guess Sony keeps sleeping on sales, I don´t complain, but it´s not good for them in the long term, losing opportunities left and right. Can´t wait for NPD and shipment numbers to see huge numbers for PS360.
