If we are talking December alone then this is what we have to compare to:

Week ending 01st Dec 2007 to w/e 29th Dec 2007

ConsoleWiiPS3X360
Total
4,276,807
2,400,402
2,214,589

or this depending on when you view December

Week ending 08th Dec 2007 to w/e 05th Jan 2008: (same timeframe as NPD)
ConsoleWiiPS3X360
Total
4,043,835
2,332,111
2,093,650

I believe the Wii will see an increase comparable to it's incrase in supply (naturally) which is about 33%... and means about 5.5 million sales in December alone. (depending on which weeks are classed as December)

The PS3 is seeing increased demand and I think will see an almost comparable increase in percentage of 25, which should put it at about 3 million in December.

The 360 is generally having a better year than last, and it should see an increase over last years sales, but perhaps not quite as much, so December sales of around 2.5 million. (20% increase)

(Any of you counting will realise that PS3+360 = Wii)

Here is the 2007 data for the last 9 weeks ending December 29th (other wise known as November+December with a dash of October)
ConsoleWiiPS3X360
Total
5,978,721
3,397,174
3,208,277

Using the same percentages on these numbers gives us:
Wii - 7.95 million
PS3 - 4.25 million
360 - 3.85 million

which has the Wii at slightly less than PS360 combined.

Wii = 8 turned aside.
PS3= e^9
X360= square root of 1

 so that's Infinite sales of the Wii. 8103.08.... PS3s and 1 X360 sold.

PS3 beat 360 last year because PS3 just had a $100 price cut and everyone waiting for a sub $500 ps3 finally bought one. This year there will probably be a decent 360 price cut before the holidays in NA which will help it a lot. There is very little chance of PS3 getting a price cut this year after the financials sony just released. So PS3 probably will beat 360 WW but not by much.

Wii >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PS3 >= 360

Microsofts financial were not much better.  An $89 million profit and they sold alot more games than Sony.  I don't think they are raking in large profits on the hardware either.

 Erm, PS3 + PS2 + PSP games.

You are probably correct that the 360 is still losing on the hardware, but to say that Sony has the PS2 which is massively profitable for both HW and SW, the PSP which is profitable on both if not hugely so, and the PS3 games which are likely profitable to some extent, and they still make a loss... that suggests to me they lose a hell of a lot more on PS3 hardware than 360 does.



360 will outsell ps3
