I think a good explanation would be that not only did retailers expect to sell more units in December than in November (and rightly so, history was on their side), but they probably also wanted to take advantage of some discounts that MS may have been offering in exchange for BF deals.
All those BF deals may have happened because MS, while not lowering the official RRP, where giving discounts to retailers for large orders in exchange for said retailers offering vouchers to consumers. If this were true then retailers may have rushed to get as many 360's as possible for discounted rates.
No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.
