When was the last time no console sold a million+ during the holiday season?

edit: this late in the holiday season.  I suspect that next weeks numbers will have at least 1 system at 1 million

Your suspicions are invalid. 

2011 Global - Dec 24th

 

1,072,725 - Xbox 360

885,066 - PS3

 

360 is down 33% globally and PS3 is down 25%.

In other words, not a snowballs chance in hell of any console over 1 million next week. 

3DS might

Yea but its a weeks before christmas lol, i remember times when there was 2 or 3 (mostly nintendo products) at 1, 2 3, 4 mill+ during late november early december.  Time definatly a changin.
