Everyone expected the DS and Wii to sell like crazy,but I had not the slightest ideea that the PS3 will outsell 360 on Black Friday,so for me thats the most unexpected thing to happen,not the DS and Wii numbers...but maybe its just me

I did not say that discussing the fact that PS3 outsold the Xbox360 was not worth the discussion. I personnaly think this is quite a feat and undoubtely a fact, given the difference is outside the margin of error.

But behind the tree there are 2 huge ones named DS and Wii, that should, IMO,  be discussed in this very topic.

Wii for example received its fair share of doom & gloom predictions until price cut/NSMB:Wii. Fact is Wii is back to "business as usual" since a few week and these sales put it the same level as last year. 

It's pointless to continuously comment on a race that is clearly over.  The DS and Wii won sales in this generation.  Everyone talks about the PS3 and 360 because the race is still relevant.  It's also an unusual sales situation with the Wii because its sales dominance has not translated into proper third party support.  If either the PS3 or 360 had the Wii's sales advantage, third parties would flock to the platform leaving the loser behind.
