if you said like 6 months ago that footage of the people bundling in the shop for a 360 console i don't think many would of believed you. That is just insane to see that. Makes me wonder will 360 actually have any stock for the last few weeks until xmas!

 From what I've gathered smaller stores got 16 and then up from there with others getting 32. Obviously, there must be some deviation here as per one guy here his store got 90. That would have to be in one busy, busy area though if I had to guess.

any more experiences ?

i think we would lie to hear more stories, keep them coming

i think we agree that xbox 360 has advantage on price point.

Not sure if this is where to put it, but this is what happened at my Fry's

Wii - I was quite frankly shocked at how little demand there was.  At the end of the day we still had about 35 (out of about 60) sitting in the back.  While sales were up due to the volume of customers, it wasn't much more than a normal day.

360 - Sold quite well.  Didn't sell out of any models, but the arcade and premium had pretty steady sales throughout the day.  Towards the end of the day it was probably selling the most (outside of portables).

PS3 - This was the surprise of the day.  We sold out of the 80 GB before noon.  Probably had around 60 at the start of the day.  not as much demand for the 160 GB.  Had about 30, and ended with 10-15.

PSP and DS - Both sold well throughout the day.  Not really sure which sold more.

Software - Only games that were sold in large quantites were GTA 4 (both systems sold out) and Mario Kart wii (also sold out).  The new Need for Speed also sold pretty well.  Rest of the software was mostly an assortment of big name titles on all the systems.  PC games sold a little bit of everything.  Either WotlK or Left 4 Dead was the top seller.

I've just been reading that a Walmart employee died in amongst the sales rush to get into a store at Valley Stream on New York's Long Island. 4 others were injured.

This sounds hectic...these too good to be true sales can't continue to operate on a 'first in best served' basis.

Calling someone retarded for pointing out facts is, well...  worse than retarded.

 They have to come up with a better system no doubt about it.

you live in a very strange place it seems

you are probably the only guy with that kind of stories. PS3 sell better than 360?? LOL!?
and better than the Wii !!? AHAHA man i had a really good laugh. but you eat crow when the numbers come, please dont lie again

All our local walmart stores are open 24/7 so the doors are always open.  Except for Christmas I think.

This is a very sad situation, I would imagine walmart has a different policy next season.

   That is just crazy.  The 360 will NEVER beat the Wii.  I mean the PS3 will trade back and forth, one might overtake the other then back again from time to time, but the chance of either beating the Wii outside of a tiny window around the release of a big game is just nil.

   The only scinereo I can see the 360 outselling the Wii is if the Wii had some sort of unexpected serious supply issue.  I went to Gamestop late today and they had a boatload of 360s still, but not a single Wii.   A friend of mine works there and apparently they were out of Wii's within less then an hour of opening (they had over 100 to sell).  

   I mean we can argue PS3 vs 360 all day, but arguing either vs the Wii is just foolish.  The only constraint on the Wii sales are really how many Nintendo gets into stores.  I can't remember a single day in the last 3 years I have seen more then a handful of non bundled Wiis (they DO sometimes sit when put in 400 dollar bundles of crap places like Frys) in stock at a time.  I have never ever seen Wii's in stock on consecutive days at Gamestop when I've gone more then once in a week.
