pretty darn good sales for the 360, numbers would be even bigger if we at Gamestop could actually come close to meeting demand, unforunatly we can't at all these new Slims are gonna be sold out for a long long time. 



Excellent news.  Is this the same in other stores, other Gamestop stores and competitor stores too?


well I can't really talk about the specifics in my job because i could basically get in some huge trouble because there's been a lockdown on us at Gamestop since we leaked the Black Wii coming to America and Assassins Creed Brotherhood and all that but I have talked to all the store managers in a LARGE area (roughly 16 stores) and I know we are sold threw on Pre-Orders for the system for the next two shipments, In other words in our district people aren't even aloud to pre-order the system anymore because we can't come close to meeting demand and can't promise them when they can get a system because our next two Shipments are already completly sold out and they haven't even hit the retail floor yet. 


any thoughts on the new customers vs. replacement 360s ratio.  i just really don't get why this level of demand for a redesign.  if we take the baseline sales of the 360 at 50k and assume that MS had enough supply to meet demand then the lauch of the 360 slim would have reached 317k just in america(a 634% increase) plus we apparently still haven't met demand.  the ps3 redesign only did  around 500k worldwide with a $100 price drop.  these number just seem too big to me.
