Everybody on here is talking about PS3 sales(Which is fine) so I will mix things up...

Wii will return and dominate Holiday 2010! PS3 sales are nice and all but was I the only 1 who saw the 50K jump for the Wii this week?

I don't think the Wii will dominate the holiday. If anything, the 360 will. It has the upcoming momentum and marketing to really push the masses, of course which includes Kinect. I think the Wii will have a good holiday, but it will be down from previous years.

Don't underestimate the combined power of Mario, Donkey Kong, and Micheal Jackson! Wii will also get a Holiday boost like it did this week for no reason at all.

Donkey Kong and Michael Jackson won'tdo much at all for system sales. Mario will have an impact but nowhere the amount it had in 2009.

And you said why the Wii got a boost, it's holiday time. That's the reason.

Sadly, I think the Red Wii is going to be the system's biggest pusher in terms of releases.   Frankly, it's bizarre that Wii's had so few color choices, bundle choices and not a single remodel, considering what the competition have done in those areas (multiple colors, countless bundles, and a major remodel/rebranding for each), not to mention Nintendo themselves with the DS line (4 models and a veritable rainbow of colors to this point).  Hell, even GameCube and N64 had more options for consumers in their day.... I just don't understand it? :/

On the other hand, it's looking like Wii will be the only "single model" of hardware to ever pass 100m sold (though PS2 slim might make it too).
