I just realized this may be a crazy sale after all. They did this same thing last year and it had lines forming for these deals. If every Walmart store sells 10 more Xbox 360 Arcade units than they would have without this deal, that'd result in quite the sales bump for the week, would it not? That'd be like at least 60k bump for the week in the US.

And no one would know because no one gets Walmart data.

But they still guesstimate, don't they?  Seems like it would be kind of foolish to just leave it out entirely when it probably makes at least 25% of console/software related sales in the US.

To be honest, I don't know how the hell they account for Walmart.
