I asked this earlier, but people were posting so much and so fast that i think it went unnoticed :S

"So a recap; we have undertracked the 360 by 30k, the PS3 by 100k and overtracked the Wii and Wii U by 20k both?''

Does anyone know more about this so far?

Sounds about right, minus the Wii part.  The 360 was 281K at 44% of current gen consoles.  That leaves about 358K for PS3 and the Wii.  I would imagine we have the Wii undertracked by ~20K-40K, which would make it 100K-120K for the month.  That leaves ~238K-258K for the PS3.  So, 360 is undertracked by ~30K.  PS3 undertracked by ~90K-110K.  Both of which are up YOY.  The PS3 more so (last year, PS3 + Wii was only 281K.)

Edit: If we assume the PS3 sold 200K last year, then even with my lowest number, that would be an increase of at least 19% YOY.

Thanks for clarifying man.

I wonder why there is such an increase for both the PS3 and 360 YOY so late in the generation. What is causing this? Is it a result of the Wii U not selling well?
