No, me too.

Well, you have to remember 2 important things. First, the holiday boost will always swing in Wii's favor, as it is not only the cheapest console, but it also appeals more to children (the group people mostly shop for during the holidays). And second, this is the time of the year sales are harder to estimate, as things just go a little crazy. There are almost always adjustments shortly after the holidays settle back to normal trends. Personally, I think VGC maybe overestimating the boost for the Wii, while underestimating the boost for the PS3 and 360.I

Agree with this for the most part and it makes senses, but as I posted previously GCN although the family friendly console did not boost more during holidays then its competitors except when it dropped to a $50 right before the holdays to $99 while PS2 and Xbox stayed at $179.99.

By the time that had happened, the PS2 had pretty much cemented its spot as the market leader. Plus, the PS2 appealed to everyone, old and young alike. And the fact it doubled as a DVD player helped, as well.
