Who’da thunk it? Following last week’s major Xbox 360 price cuts, sales have surged. Microsoft sends word today that certain retailers are reporting a 100 percent increase in 360 sales over the previous weekend. In fact, “some models” — we’re assuming the Arcade and standard edition — are reportedly moving off store shelves at six times the previous weekend’s rate.

The obvious question now is, will these sales stick or is it a temporary victory for Microsoft? Hard to say, when we’re only comparing this week to the previous. Next week should be far more telling.
