Well, I can\'t speak for other locations, but my original plan to buy one or two 360s this morning didn\'t work out.
Having done my research yesterday, I knew that the local (non pre-order) stores were getting the following (quotes are when they were non specific in their answer):
Zellers - 35 units.
Walmart - "more than 100" units.
Bestbuy - 120 units. "more on the way"
Futureshop1 - 30-50 units (near the bestbuy)
Futureshop2 - 40-50 units (near the walmart) "more coming every day"
The local \'pre-sale\' stores, like EB were of course sold out, but my local EB said they were getting only a couple dozen in, which I found strange. Seems like the dedicated gamer stores with preorders are getting in much less than their demand.
When I went out this morning at 0430 AM, planning to line up and get a couple of boxes for flipping on Ebay, I was really underwhelmed at the demand. The only one with a long line was Bestbuy, which I rough-counted at about 60 people. 5 and 7 in front of the futureshops, 4 in front of the walmart, and 0 around the zellers. Seeing the lack of demand, I decided not to buy any 360s to flip. While I\'m sure it\'ll sell out tomorow, compared to the PS2 experience the demand really doesn\'t compare. Looks like people will be able to buy one without even lining up when the stores open in a couple of hours.
*EDIT*
Article Looks like the pre-order sales were great, but the day-of sales have been a bust, depending on locale.
