Should be pending availability, although I have to say over the last several weeks, the one console I've consistently seen available at retail is the Xbox (at least one of its SKUs). The only shortages I noted were on the 20GB SKUs after the inventory clearing sale was in effect.
If the Xbox doesn't see a significant NA sales increase over the next 2-3 weeks, it means one of two things:
- MS did not properly stuff inventory channels in preparation of the predicted increase in demand due to the lower price points (we will see retail outlets having trouble keeping stock on hand/sold out).
- Demand for the 360 platform has peaked and 2008 will be its last big holiday season (subsequent sales will plateau, leading to the inevitable decrease in 2009).
