Some good man has been able to get ahold of the Xbox 360 allocations list for Best Buy stores in the US. So if you want to find out how many consoles your local Best Buy is going to get then find out your store number and click the link below to see the tables.
You can see from the image above that some stores are getting as little as 32 consoles alltogether. Could this mean a shortage. A calculation done DM:

The grand total of systems shipped to BestBuy, cores and premiums together is around 42,200. My math was all done manually so if anyone wants to check it, please do. According to a distributor I talked to, the first shipment will be about 250k Premiums and 95k Cores in the US. I did not believe him but now that I see this, it just might be true. Maybe this shortage is real after all, or maybe a bunch of BestBuy stores are missing from the list. Good estimation tool though.

It seems a bit weird to me how they would only get this many 360’s for all the people wanting them. But it does indicate on the bottom of each table that this amount is the amount that Microsoft is comitted to ship and that actual numbers may vary. So by November 22nd some people maybe happy, some may not or everyone will be happy. Lets hope this shortage is nonsense and everyone will get their 360’s in time (that includes me!)

[Kudos to dopeboyfresh67 for all the tables]
