Damn it, why does Wii get a much bigger holiday boost than PS3 all the time. Disappointing Zelda numbers, 300-400k LT in Japan? I see it doing 3-4m WW, not much more than that honestly.

Because it actually has content for the main buying demographic during chirstmas sales. Parents buying games for their children. Especially in Japan Sony's efforts to capture casual market has been beyond horrible. I still can't comprehend why SCEJ has not released Singstar game in Japan...You know the country that absolutely loves karaoke?

TBH this gen Sony have got so hung up fighting MS for mature audience they've made a mess of it globally in terms of appealing to families and more casual buyers.  One of the reasons they have struggled and Wii did so well vs gamecube despite previous market penetration.

In US this year they finally had some decent bundles with R&C and LBP2 and the like (which seem to have sold very well comparatively) but overall I think they've not performed well in this area and their holiday boosts and laklusture success in a demographic the PS2 hoovered up seem to confirm this.
