Amazon.com are included in NPD data collection from what I have read, Walmart and TRU are the 2 main companies not included in NPD, but they are approximated.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 5 ]bids

RE: MS On Supply Issues, Shortage to continue through FebruaryMaybe true and certainly the Elite was rumoured to be in short demand. Of course on Amazon they were in stock during the period and I never noticed them going out of stock unfortunately Amazon do not form part of the NPD results.
I am a little sceptical and wish I read more into the shortages at the time. I am more inclined to believe the shortage announcement coincided with MS receiving its copy of the NPD results for the month.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 60 ]bids

Call me a fanboy or sheeple... but this interview kind of made sense and lines up with all of the things we've heard about in the last 3 months.
Xbox Live was completely bogged down and overstressed due to demand greater than expected.
Even before MS announced the shortage, there were plenty of articles on the net talking about how hard it was to find an Elite lately.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 148 ]bids

You may be right it is all so very confusing. I think Amazon are not tracked for Consumer Technology (Retail TrackSM) that would be items such as High Def players. It is entirely possible that it is tracked for Entertainment which is where we find consoles.
