Just an interesting thing i noticed on
http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Business/Official-Figures-Show-Slowest-Year-On-Year-Growth-On-Record-For-Retailers-In-December/Article/201101315902655?lpos=Business_Third_Home_Page_Article_Teaser_Region__4&lid=ARTICLE_15902655_Official_Figures_Show_Slowest_Year-On-Year_Growth_On_Record_For_Retailers_In_December
Right at the bottom it says
"Hopes among retailers that sales of electrical items would pick up ahead of the VAT increase failed to materialise, though department stores saw a 0.3% rise in business with the new Xbox Kinect selling well across the sector."
This is for the UK. The fact a financial business report mentioned Kinect by name in that vein is pretty good. Makes me wonder if VGC might have under-estimated the 360s numbers in Europe and more obviously UK.
