one thing i think should be taken note of is the number of games that were released on Xbox 360 in december. off the top of my head i can't recall any big name games coming out in December.
now the reason why this matters is is because 360 gamers are a peculiar bunch. they tend to buy games right when they come out and move onto the next big thing pretty quick. this isn't the case always (exceptions of course being Halo 3 and COD4). but in general 360 players are early purchasers with a short attention span. (disclaimer: i'm a 360 player so don't take my comments as fanboy bashing)
on the other hand, wii gamers tend to be more towards the casuals. in that case, the behavior expected is that they don't immediately rush to the stores when games come out.
these are just my own opinions and observations though. just my own ways of making sense of this news.
