[Update: Sony spokesman Patrick Seybold said in a statement, "The 2009 holiday season got off to an amazing start for PlayStation, with all key retailers showing a significant increase for PS3, PSP and key holiday titles over Black Friday and the holiday weekend. PlayStation 3 demand was at an all time high with the system selling more than 440,000 units for the week ending 11/29/09.]

That's not too far behind the Wii, which was at 550k for the week.

Biggest PS3 month...ever? Could be...we're looking at > 700k sales in November, and quite possibly over 800k. December will be even bigger. Good to see the PS3 gaining considerable momentum. Very much well deserved with the release of the slim, new price point, and great ad campaign.

I would anticipate that 360 sales will be down considerably YoY, particularly in December and beyond. I see the 360 sales screeching to a halt in early Q1 and beyond while PS3 keeps its momentum strong with huge titles like FFXIII, God of War 3, and Gran Turismo 5.
