While, with the exception of Nintendo, these figures aren't as clear cut concerning gaming as we'd like, hopefully these numbers are not minimized by ones here that miss the bigger picture. There is nothing, NOTHING, more important than THESE numbers. This business is ALL about profit Profit PROFIT.
So, if you really want to argue about who WON holiday 2009, these numbers will be the most telling. Not be a spoiler, but I have a funny feeling it will be Nintendo . . .
