Black Friday (week) sales prediction thread

[kvh22000]

I Just checked five areas at random for ps3 availibiliy on the 80 GB and 40 GB

80 GB

New York, New York. 12 of 20 stores sold out.
Tifton, Georgia. 13 of 20 stores sold out.
Cocoa, Florida. 8 of 12 stores sold out.
San diego, California 13 of 20 stores sold out.
Green Bay, Wisconsin 17 of 20 stores sold out.

40 GB
new york, new york 6 out of 20 sold out
tifton, ga 4 of 20 sold out
cocoa, florida 0 out of 12 sold out
san diego, california 5 of 20 sold out
Green Bay, Wisconsin 2 of 20 sold out.

Clearly this shows that the deal on the 80 GB at WM helped some. It also shows that predictions of 100,000 may be low. However, with wal-mart running that deal on Sat. sales at WM stores may be higher then everywhere else.

I'll get back when i have more info from other retailers
