Not any more. More than Half the Wii's and Xboxs bought during black friday were 2nd consoles that would be used as cheap media streaming boxes. (or in the case of the Wii netflix only)
That's an interesting statistics; where did you read that?
One part Analyst Rubbish the other part working part time retail.
Worked in the electronics section during Black Friday. Alot of the buyers were buying the second or third systems for Netlix streaming for the kids and what not.
I purchased two Xbox bundles over Black Friday and 1 PS3 bundle a week or two earlier. The primary focus of the PS3 is a Blu-Ray/Netflix player. One of the xbox bundles upgrades my current xbox. The (replaced) older xbox goes to my daughter for primarily Netflix viewing and the other new bundle goes to my son for 50/50 Netflix/Gaming. Hopefully this new cable-tv-like viewing on the Xbox systems will be great too.
Nutshell> non-gaming activities were a significant part of the decision making for my purchases.
