Pretty close as far as the pre-adjustment figures tally. Within an acceptable margin of error to be considered a push.

It's probably a given that the PS3 will see the largest adjustment in terms of added sales due to the greater number of markets in which it is currently available as well as the fact that the majority of Xbox sales are in the easier to track NA region.

It is looking like Kinect/360 has taken the place of the Wii as the holiday console of choice, particularly in NA.

Someone should throw up some charts to show how the sales numbers were spread over the 12 months of 2011. There would be some pretty heavy weighting in Q4 for the Xbox.

There you go.  Just cause you asked.  And because I had time to kill.
