Seems to me the salient point here is that this offer would only be made with a console that was going to have a lot of surplus units sitting around this holiday that would not have otherwise sold.  So the offer moves them and gets people in the door, etc.  This is why the good luck of the Wal-Mart offer accrued to MS.

We've heard that Sony was producing slims for holiday sale at about double the rate of holiday sales of last year.  So the question is whether they will have surplus units at all.  My guess is that, with the new price, model, and advertising, along with FFXIII in Japan, they will not have many surplus units.

Then why did Amazon offer it as well??? Isnt the 360 up YOY?? Walmart did this on their own. I wouldnt be surprised if more stores do this on black friday
