@Arbiter, While I'd agree that the userbase was an important factor, you can't discount the effect of the discount. The Wii and PS2 Special Editions were both dropped to $99 just in time for the holidays. Cheaper than the other platforms, cheaper than GH, and much cheaper than the $190 sequel. That's a pretty good reason to prefer it.
As for the headline, I'm sure it's supposed to sound silly.
