Considering I've regularly seen them in stock since before xmas and have seen large amounts post xmas in stores... I can see this as a retailer standard across the board.

They over bought demand and are now redistributing for areas where it may sell better or depending on manufacturer contracts, maybe returning.

Hell over last weekend, completely for to tell this story, I was in a relatively new walmart in my city and they actually had two black (day one) xbones in stock. I was genuinely shocked at that. Almost both it to see if it had any "collectors" type of pull for it. But I figured the $500+tax was more risk than I wanted to take on.

Xbone simply has met large demand based on its $500 price.

There will be a retail price drop or more likely significant bundles before 2014 is over to try to drive sales.
