I'm sure the Wii will be the big winner this holiday season. It's cheap, it's family friendly and it's Nintendo. Did I mention it's cheap?

Personally, I had a hard time justifying my 360 purchase. It took four months and an unexpected bit of extra spending money to convince me to pick up a premium package and a couple of games.

I won't have such a problem with the Wii. $250 is quite a bit to spend on something as superfluous as a game console, but it's nothing compared to what Sony wants me to pony up right out of the gate.

I think the Wii will win the season. However, I think the Ps3 isn't going to lose much marketshare-wise despite the plethora of negative publicity the console has managed to garner over these last few months. Unless it's just the biggest hunk o'crap....ever, I don't see Sony being pushed aside for either Nintendo or *GASP Microsoft.
