I don't know much about Europe, but the 360 is not big in Japan at all so I'm guessing the total number might be around 7 million for the whole world. It's certainly not 11 million though.

Based on Vgchartz, which tracks retailer's sales, not shipped units or replacement units, just sales-0.44M Japan, 6.96M America, 3.42M Others(Europe, Australia, New Zealand, etc)=10.82M sold.

These are the numbers the last two weeks.

25-Aug
Wii-101,932
PS3-43,354
Xbox 360-64,046

1-Sep
Wii-122,539
PS3-48,226
Xbox 360-78,230

The 360 as really pick up since the $50.00 price drop, while the PS3 has slowed down ( after the $100 drop, the PS3 was selling as many as 80,000 units a week for about a month).

Also expect the 360 to jump up in sales when Halo 3 comes out.
