oh last week no 360 gift card(or something)deal in america?

I believe that was the week before. Last week was Wii ($75)/PS3($100) off at Walmart.

The PS3 and Wii deal at Walmart was mostly the 17th and 18th of December. By the time Sunday the 19th came around Walmart supply was depleted.  For more information about the deals at the big retailers in US take a look at this.

X360 sales in the USA are largely on the $75 giftcard for the $300 sku at Walmart.

Next week has no such deal (Dec 25 week), just a $20 discount on the Kinect bundle at Target but its the biggest shopping week of the year in the USA, and so the fall off won't be too bad.

Wii / PS3 have deep discounts for Dec 19 in the USA (Sunday before Christmas). After that, Wii has $50 discounts at Toys R Us and Best Buy.

With another 900k - 1m week in the USA for Dec 25, the Wii should be well on its way to a second 3.5m ish December in the USA.

This was from last weeks sales thread for WW.

They are not going to end the last weekend before Christmas without any stock. People claim SONY overshipped for months now, surely they should have plenty left right?

Take a look at the my link. The week ending Dec 18th in USA nearly every retailer had Wii on sale or with a gift card culminating with the weekend $75 gift card at Walmart. You would have been a fool to not pick up the Wii that week if it was on your shopping list.  As for the Walmart gift card deals.  People lined up for those Friday night and Walmart sold out quickly.  Maybe some replenishment for Sunday, but not much.   360 sales that week were not just the Walmart deal the Walmart deal was the non-Kinect 250GB console.  MS made one last push of supply for Christmas week and Kinect bundles and Kinect sensors were available in large quantities this should more than make up for the Walmart gift card being over.
