I bothered to post because I went shopping today (like millions of other people) and everywhere I looked there were 360s, and all 3 skus I might add well stocked. I thought this was one of those threads when fanboys get all excited about whatever, and exaggerate the facts. The truth is, yea if a place has an awsome sale on something it will sell well or even out(if the sale is that good)... But that is not a sign of mega increased demand... It could just be all of the demand was funneled to certain retailers. Meaning in next weeks data WM could have 3x more sold in comparison to another retailer then their usual ratio. Like say Target has no deal but WM does... Normally the target sells 30 360s a week and the WM sell 40... well this week WM sells 80, but since all the sales went to WM target only sells 10... There is still a major net increase, but it is not a 100% increase across the board like WM had... it might be a 20% increase in overall sales.
