Concerning Christmas sales in the future I think that the Wii will, of course, dominate but to a lesser degree than it has been for the following:
-Christmas is one of those times of the year that people are willing to spend a little bit more which can't hurt the PS3 as well as the 360. The PS3's higher price point is cost-prohibitive for a lot of gamers right now, but this will be to a slightly lesser degree during the holidays.
-The wii shortage issue. Nintendo has said repeatedly that there will be a shortage of wii's this christmas. Although this will help the DS and PSP more, it will help the 360 and PS3 as well.
-PS3's Home/VOD/better games
-this assumes that Sony will run out of 60g PS3's and then go ahead and drop the price of the 80g model to $500 as expected
I predict that the Wii's edge in sales numbers will drop slightly this christmas from what sales have been for the Wii compared to the PS3. The wii has been selling about 2 hardware units for every PS3 sold, and I think that the ratio will drop to about 1.7 for the holidays meaning that while the wii will still dominate, it won't dominate as strongly as it has been. After christmas is over in jan, I think that we would probably see more of the usual, the wii will probably sell 2 hardware units for every 1 PS3 sold.
