Er... the console that was going to be the long term winner was determined about 3 months ago, when it was apparent that the Wii hype wasn't just going to disappear. The console with the strongest launch months always wins, but hey, hope is good right, so keep on dreaming.

Has there ever been as much of a price difference as there is now between 2 mainstream consoles? I think the console race is far from over and is still in its beginning.

I'm not claiming that the Wii will win by 100 million consoles or anything, I just don't see any realistic chance for a turnaround from the other 2 companies at this point.  You're right that there has never been a price difference this large, but I don't see how that can work to anyone's advantage but Nintendo's.  Of course that's just my opinion, but I think it's kind of ridiculous to claim that the THIRD Holiday season is the most important in the generation.
