That's great news :)

For PS3 I guess 6.8-7.3 million shipped 31th Dec.

Without specific period there are no way to say it under or over tracked.

I guess that's 5 week like others said here... there are 4 days of November in the last 5 weeks of the year... so November to December.

Maybe the PS3 in itself isn't massively undertracked but the combination of PS3 undertrack and X360 overtrack could be quite large, and after adjustments we might see the current sales gap of 3.7 million between X360 and PS3 be reduced by a million.

Do you guys have YoY changes for me? Would be nice.

I found Dec 2009 sales: http://www.ps3center.net/news/4231/playstation-sells-38-million-units-in-december/

3.8 million.

i choose to interpret this numbers as confirming that the ps3 is massively over-tracked here and sony will be out of business within months and that they are massively stuffing the channels yet again and of course lying about these figures to infringe on my consumer rights.

Doesn't look reliable, link says 1.7m in Dec in US alone last year, it did 1.2m

But Nov + Dec did 1.7m in US .....

So with these number and with Patcher predicting a decent December for the PS3, the net result is that the PS3 is d0med again.

Original Story: During Sony’s CES event, SCE president Kaz Hirai said that over 3.8 million PlayStation 3 units were shipped worldwide in December, with 1.7 million units sold in the US alone.

Full PR.
