I'm not so sure. A great offer on a digital camera or an mp3 player or whichever else relatively affordable "neutral" item, where each brand and model offers the same base functions and lets enjoy the same media may push impulse purchases. But a console requires some thought before buying, as not all the games are multiplatform, there are other issues too, like input devices, and, for more informed buyers, issues about post sale policies, like free or pay online, additional features, free or proprietary add-ons, etc. When I bought my digital cam, I chose simply the most affordable, but from a well known brand, that had equal or greater resolution than my minimum requirement, that used standard SD cards, not memory sticks, that had optical zoom and comfortable controls: the week I had time to look around , the best offer for my tastes was a Kodak, in the previous and successive weeks they were other brands. So now I have a Kodak. But if I want a Wii, I'll wait a great offer on it, I won't buy another console because I saw a great offer on it.
Owners of more than one console, like you, are a very small minority outside of sites like this, don't take for granted that common people will buy each good priced console they see, otherwise the world would be full of GameCubes.
