This notion of "parents" picking consoles is... absurd. I'm sure it happens, rarely. But parents don't just buy little Johnny what they want. They buy what HE wants. They're not going to get an Xbox One for a kid who wants PS4 and visa versa because as soon as he opens it, he's going to freak the hell out.

Have you ever been to a store during black friday? It's literally filled with parents. I remember last year at my local Best Buy during Black Friday and Gamespot that it was parents that were buying consoles. While at the Gamespot it was just non parents buying just games. A huge point of black friday is to buy Christmas gifts.

Well, Parents usually buy what their kids want. If their kids can't stop talking about how cool the X1 is, their parents aren't going to get them a Wii U, because it's cheaper.
