lmost bought me an XB1 today. Was about 20 bucks short, fortunately. The SO bundle was tough to turn down though.
I thought they were completely sold out, but the Best Buy had 4, and FS had a few too. Smallest BB in the country btw, I assume 4 is actually a decent amount compared to their overall stock situation.
And I think I sold an XB1 to an old guy lol. Apparently nobody works at the store, and a guy asked me a few questions, and asked me which was better for racing games.
Edit: as soon as I saw that link, I knew it was from info scout.

Data methodology:
InfoScout panelists submitted 180k+ receipts over the course of Black Friday. Of the 180k receipts submitted, 2k receipts included a games-related purchase. The data includes purchases at all major brick & mortar retailers carrying electronics including Walmart, Target, Best Buy, GameStop, RadioShack, and others. For more information related to our data and panel representation, visit our data page.
So basically 2k receipts. And that's gaming related purchases, which would likely include things like Amiibos even if I had to guess.
Not to mention infoscout, as I understand it is an app, that offers some level of compensation to people who use it. So the data is incredibly tarnished just from that perspective alone when you are talking about a 280 dollar console with 2 games, vs a 399 one with 2. People who would be more price conscious, would in theory be more likely to participate in such a survey.
