^This is an entire week long sale, though, with multiple shipments more than normal. It will not follow your "shift" theory because it will really only affect mostly Walmart shoppers. The incentive is a Walmart gift card so people who buy games at GameStop or Amazon won't really be interested. If people are not Walmart shoppers they probably won't even know about the deal unless they catch the internet word of mouth.

I think its just a one day "pre black friday" saturday sale. Walmart did these last year. They are like mini black fridays. Not a week.

Not multiple shipments. Its a number of consoles per store......the reason why it supports my theor is because it means people who want a 360 this week will defer to walmart today, its not like everyone can walk into any walmart all week and come away with this sale....its an allocated amount, unknown quantity for one day.....thus shifting sales to wal mart, for a single day.

The reports we have coming in are the 360 sale is actually for the entire week and will overlap with the MW2 launch.  We have also had reports that Walmart has recevied multiple shipments of 360's today.  We originally thought it was just part of the first black saturday sale for WalMart, will have to wait until tommorrow to see if the reports are true.
