To drop the system would be a massive step, it would have to be doing worse than the Gamecube for that to happen so soon. There would be no benefit to a retailer dropping the 360 at this point, even in Japan and it's doing considerably worse there than Australia. It's not like anybody save perhaps Microsoft is making a loss stocking and selling them down under. It makes no sense.
Moreover, one of the stories on the front page of that site (ironically another 360 one) is from February. It doesn't have a GameRush tld (strange) and is built on free web space. It's certainly not a site I've heard of nor a terribly professional looking one, reputable or not. I'm not exactly sure how reliable a retail survey from a site without a proper domain or on hosted web space is.
Like I say, I didn't downbid the article and I'm not anti-negative-360 news. It just smacked of traffic-grabbing to me.
