Only a few days of possibly constrained sales and minus the other major region so not bad I guess. MS are pushing the advertising hard in the UK (and would assume the rest of EU) but you have to wonder what people think when they say it is "Kinect ready" which must just be a mystery function to the average Joe.
I am fighting the urge to buy one of these now especially as I have absolutely no need until at least the Kinect launch when I will have no choice but to buy as my family are totally sold on Kinect.
As for those pushing the price reductions argument. It works three ways yes some people will want to snap up the cheaper consoles yet others will want the new console and then others will wait until the old stock is completely deplenishded and the new model gets a price cut. I suspect the majority of that bump is mostly down to new stock.
