Well, considering we are still ~436K above NPD for Dec (I know it doesn't have to be exact, but over 400K is quite a bit still) and we had 360 overtracked in France, it will most likely be down YOY when all is said and done.  However, 2011 was 360's 6th year (a time we usually already have new consoles) and it won't be down by millions (like the Wii), probably not even a million.  So if I were a 360 fan, there is no reason not to be damn proud of the system.

for 2011, npd has Xbox 360 at 7.3mil and vgcharts has it at 7.47mil. I'm not going to take the time to find out what months were significantly different. But the difference between the two is 170k or less then 3% which I'm almost positive is within the margin of error in npd data.
