On black friday i got my xbox at PRO at target with a free 60 dollar gift card... huge like line maybe like 50 xboxs PROs there I came back later in the day and there was 2 left... lots of people wanted the WII and that guitar hero with xbox at walmart and of course the DS ... not much talk about the ps3 tho ... i got mine last year... but i love my new 360 even more!

Yes, I'm referring to those two particular Best Buys (I can only assume others have the same situation on their hands) that are sitting on lots of PS3s and very few or none of the other two.  Both stores told me that everything out on the floor was everything they had.  At both stores there were very few 360s out on the floor, no Wiis, and PS3s pretty much everywhere I turned.

@dmeister  I was there on a Saturday afternoon about 1:00 pm--so I think that's a pretty good indicator.

I can't say much about Black Friday, but I want to give you my story, talking about Germany/Europe.

Well last Gen, it was all about PS2. No doubt. I had a xbox and people looked at me like i was an alien or something. The brand Playstation was very powerful. Sony spent a lot on advertising and it did pay off. (UEFA Champions League - the greatest soccer-tournament with the best clubs in Europe has Playstation as the main sponsor. As big as NFL would be without Baseball, basketball or hockey. Soccer is THE game to play here. No competition.)

Today things have changed MS finally has some demo-stations, where you can play the 360. Last gen, there were just PS2s. At my retailer there is a racing seat connected to the Xbox360 and Forza Motorsports2. Next to this seat you can smash the drums with Rockband2 for Xbox360.

The Wii still rulz. But not with software. The Xbox360-games are not crowded, but there is always somebody looking for games. and you see that experienced gamer are checking the Xbox360-software. They go, grab and leave. PS3 customers are reading the box, to make sure Need for Speed is must-have -.-

For the Wii part, you see parents asking employees to get some games. Or 10 years old judging game by the look of the box.

So: the Xbox360 really made a move. The Xbox is represented more than PS3. Which is an unbelievable success for Europe, especially Germany.

I skipped the black friday thing this year... I stood in line last year in the cold, and this year it was raining and cold, so I decided just to do online shopping.

I don't know if it's just me, but I would suggest the massive amount of PS3s show that they aren't selling rather than they are selling TONS. If it's the week after Black Friday you are seeing all thats left over.

The amount of people buying games and accessories for the 360 & Wii prove this.
