I agree with ioi on the Black Friday thing. The reason being is for Wii the system has been down year over year for the last few months but not necessarily down for the count. Meaning it hasn't lost mainstream brand or top brand for that matter. Thus you could argue that crowd is still going to buy it and it will put more emphasis on the "big holiday weeks".

Actually you could argue this for almost all of gaming aside from the PS3. I think every system (with still the inclusion of the PS3 but not for the same reasons) will see some pretty big Black Friday boosts simply because gaming had been down. It's been proven that gaming isn't losing any steam so bigger boosts in the holiday only make sense. Wii and especially DS will feel this the most. PS3 is the only one that we have to wait and see on because obviously it hasn't been down in those months leading up and thus isn't under the same pressures but I presume it'll have still a big Black Friday jump just like the rest.

But really it doesn't look like the Wii will be too far of from last year's holidays sales. Hell if it really does on the higher end it could even best it.
