I may be wrong, but didn't Walmart have another gift card deal for the 360 during FFXIII week? Maybe that was the Wii, but I could swear there was a second deal.

PS3 if I am not mistaken is the only console to not get a Walmart giftcard deal in December.

yep, VGC mentionned the 2 deals

....

So MM isn't right when he says it was a "Pure 360 vs. PS3 battle in December". 360 had a big advantage with (2) $50 giftcard promotions that occured the week before and week after the biggest week of the year.

I guess you could make a case though that it took away from Christmas week sales.

Not even sure it was this one. I could have sworn there was also one on FFXIII week and a Wii one the week before that.
