How much did the PS2 cost for its 5th holiday season, and how much did it sell that holiday season? The Wii is blowing it away at a higher price, and it won't cost $200 forever.

The PS2 sold about 6.5 million from the end of October till the end of December in 2004(5th holiday season), and i think Wii will do about similair numbers this year.
However the PS2 didn't have the whole motion control advantage however(you can't really count eye-toy since it wasn't the main control sheme). So that made it possible to be in higher demand at a higher price point because it was more unique. Now even with competing products from Sony and Microsoft the Wii at $199 still has a price advantage, but sales are declining non the less. And i certainly don't hope you're thinking Wii might outsell PS2 eventainly because that's never going to happen, Wii is still only at about half the PS2 current total.

That with GTA San Andreas.

Yes so? PS2 did over 6m during the holidays a year later aswell, and the fact that Wii doesn't have such a strong software line-up this year will only ensure it won't ''blow away'' anything.
