VGCharts was off - whomever (and I assume EB/GS) they get their sales information from wasn't the front-line businesses that dropped sales the most for the 360.
Ultimately, the first place that sales are going to suffer for the 360 are going to be your major-market retailers and uber-chains such as Meijer, K-Mart, WalMart, Sears, Target, and such. These places are going to sell far more units due to price drops than EB/GS, Play-N-Trade, Circuit City and Best Buy, because in the former, people will casually buy large volumes of systems if the price is right - and will react far quicker to a price drop (see PSP sales, which are just as significant as the 360 being off), than EB/GS, as people going to the 2nd tier of specialty stores are more often decided to buy electronics equipment there.
Now, for the next question: why is the 360 selling so bad? Same reason the PS3 is. Price. That's litterally the only reason the 360 isn't selling. If MS decided they actually wanted to compete with the Wii, and dropped the price, the 360 would of easily cleared 250k h/w units this month, if not more. But since it's M$, the company many love to hate, they are greedy morons that don't want to win. Which is suprising, because MS loves to win.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
