I would agree with you if this was a long term change to the market share, but since it is a short term holidays sales situation it basically boils down to a situation where ratios like 3:1 are very hard to maintain during the holidays...especially with supply issues. As I think the Wii could easily maintain 3:1 if they were capable of supplying it.
But I think looking at the ratios during X-mas is not very telling anyways. The ratios only matter in the long term as market share is a long term picture. Looking at the holiday market share exclusively is just looking at a skewed picture. The holidays will have a major impact on the market share numbers but by themselves they can be missleading.
In general I think we agree that using the leading console as a base line for saying which consoles are doing good and bad is only valid in a console war perspective. Just looking at the sales numbers I think it is plain to see that the PS3 is doing well this holiday. Certainly better than many expected.
