Best Buy has confirmed it will sell additional shipments of Xbox 360 on December 18th, just in time for the last minute holiday stampede. Meanwhile over in Japan, the estimates so far say between 60 and 80 percent of the Xbox 360 consoles are unsold. Analysts have indicated Microsoft's projects to send out another 300,000 for the 18th, bringing up the total to 1-1.2 million units out there in the wild. This is still short of earlier projections by about 300,000-600,000, but what can you do?
