Xbox is definitely off in the estimations. Assuming the UK YoY numbers are indicative of the wider market, it should do about 2.3 million compared to last years estimates. But in order to achieve this on chartz, the December numbers would be too low to make sense. Xbox must be overtracked by at least a couple hundred thousand. December sales need to make up at least 10-15% of yearly sales for the estimates to be valid.
