I'm surprised that the PS3 outsold the 360 last week. Usually around this time, the 360 starts outselling the PS3. Of course, now Halo 4 is out, the 360 is going to definitely outsell the PS3 this week. Tales of Xillia 2 didn't move as many PS3's as I thought, though it was released near the end of last week. Perhaps we might see a larger PS3 sales boost in Japan this week.

 

360 is still overtracked by 500k for December 2011. NPD 1.7m while VGZ shows almost 2.3m for 360, and PS3 overtracked by 140k. If we correct those sales according to NPD then difference between both consoles last year is basically nothing WW in december.

VGZ 360 WW December 2011: 3.97m (3.49m adjusted)

VGZ PS3 WW December 2011: 3.44m (3.3m adjusted)

Difference of about just 200k in most important month. Since sales in US are declining it seem PS3 will outsell 360 this December.

 

Those 500K overtracked must have been sold in another countries, because MS shipped 2 million more consoles than the number VGChartz says were sold that quarter. You can't do that simple math, if it's overtracked in USA, it doesn't mean MS sold 500K less worldwide.
