Why did Brawl get so many votes in this weeks poll?

This is for during the holiday season. I voted for Brawl, because most of the Halo fans will not wait for the holiday season and already have it. IMO, sales during the Holiday season will not be that great for Halo even if it has higher sales for the year.

Which is why Halo 3 AND Madden are very unlikely choices to win. Seriously guys look at the information!

In chronological order of release....

• Madden 08 - Aug 14th US Release
  
• Halo 3 - Sept 25th US Release
  
• Guitar Hero III - Oct 29th US Release
• Rockband - November 6 US Release
• Super Mario Galaxy - Nov 12th US Release
• Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Dec 3rd US Release

The Poll said "Which game is going to sell the most in America this holiday season?"

Meaning from black friday on. There is only one game that gets its launch week numbers into the holiday season and it is SSBB. This makes it the safest and most likely choice.

Edit: The definition of "Holiday Season" is pretty paramount here and it seems largely a matter of opinion.  But I figured I would share this link to wikipedia's take on the matter.
