Sullla,

hum,

last year it was just after a price drop
now we are 1 year after the price drop

last year, Xbox360 (the big foe playing on direct competition) was more expensive
this year, it received a price drop and is now the cheapiest console this gen

last year, we were not in recession
this year, we are (and media are even pushing it by focusing on it)

(I still see how Wii/360 are selling much better than PS3, but I also see PS3 is doing not bad considering the price)

If we take this stance, it's impossible to make any comparisons about anything:

Did the Gamecube sell well for its price?

How about the Neo-Geo? Best-selling $700 console ever!

What about the Gizmondo? It sold great for its price! Never mind that it lost so much money that it destroyed its parent company...

I think the Phantom was the best-selling console ever for one that was never released. It sold infinitely well for its price! [/sarcasm]

Stop making BS excuses. Bottom line: holiday sales should never decrease for any healthy platform entering its third holiday season. I dare you to find any successful video game platform that saw sales go DOWN in the third holiday. Because I've run the numbers on a ton of them, and I can't find any. N64, XBox, Gamecube - they all went up in their third holiday. The only one I can think of that went down was Dreamcast, and that's because the whole damn thing was discontinued earlier that year.

I would argue the Neo Geo sold well.

It wasn't originally supposed to be a home console.  It was originally just supposed to be for rentals in videostores and hotels.

But the people pushed for it to be sold in homes.

I'd argue any home console sales were just playing with house money.
