Well, I am surprised with the bad performance of PS3, but I was sure that it wouldn't sell more than 200k, because Play 3 still doesn't have any blockbuster. Just the hardware isn't enough to attract consumers, and the own Sony was the proof of that with the "weak" PS1 that defeated the "almighty" N64. DS had a excellent recover, even better than I was expecting. Definitely, it is a successful console. Wii sold relatively well - almost 50% more than X360 and more than the double of the PS3. If its future releases consolidate its sales track, it is very possible that Wii "win" X360 in absolute sales until the end of the year, or maybe before that. PS2, of course, "saved" the month of Sony, compensating the bad sales of PS3 and PSP.
It sounds good when you say "For the People", but what you really want is... a stronger army than the Knights, and the evil power to control the people.

This site adds in NPD Canada numbers. Then numbers from the rest of the Americas (Mexico, Latin America, South America) are added in (through educated guesswork)

Yeah..we came to a conclusion that Canadian sales are generally about 5% of USA sales last November when an argument over 360 sales erupted. Mexico and everything else adds a few % (2-3%) more.

Except 360 was supply constrained, PS3 is sitting around everywhere. Not that it even matters since PS3 still has to catch up and it is clearly not doing that. Beating sales numbers of a year ago don't really matter. Although your numbers do show that in February last year 360 sold 50k more than PS3 did last month so even that doesn't help you anymore. Only that December difference due to the higher supply of the PS3 is saving you guys. :P
except xbox360 had 3 titles which firstly were developed for xbox, but then canceled and mooved to xbox360: Kameo PDZ PGR3 then also release of DoA4 + condemned(half year exclusive). PS3 now has only Resistance and Virtua Fighter5, which was released in the end of month. In march you get MotorStorm + eurolunch games. So almost without games ps3 is doing better, and now after Home & LTB will do even better, just wait for March Sales.
