Yea, with these figures the PS3 certainly did worse than last year for the month comparing it to NPD. I think it could be a really tough December for it as well.

Yeah, when Microsoft said they sold 310k last thanksgiving weekend, they also said they outsold the PS3 2:1. That would mean the PS3 sold around 155k last year. Adding in the 25% (360) increase this year and the 3:1 ratio, the PS3 is around 129k this year.

One should note they are only estimating the 25% increase.

For all we know, Microsoft could be pulling that number out of their rear end.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

With a mass-market price point starting at $199.99 worldwide (estimated retail price) for Xbox 360 Arcade, a games lineup of more broad-appeal social titles than any other platform, and the recently launched New Xbox Experience, Xbox 360 is leading the industry and inviting everyone to play.

If Sony is just going to give this Christmas season away, then they are pretty much giving up and taking third place.

360 sold 770k last November in the US. A 25% increase for the month would be ~930k (did it my head, don't quote me). Niceeeeeeeee.

Yeah, but they are only talking about a 25% increase for Thanksgiving weekend sales, not the whole month.  The whole month increase could be higher or lower than 25%.
