Gamestay has tracked down a source inside EB Games that is telling them that the chain is getting a total of 40,000 Xbox 360's nationwide. While that may sound like a whole heaping, Gamestay is reporting that total pre-orders number 75,000. Sounds like things are going to be getting ugly at EB come Nov 22.

Here's the breakdown:

GameStop: 18 at one store, despite 90 pre-orders. ( VE reports that GS employee tells them that everything s fine and they will be able to fulfill all preorders.

Target: 10 to 50 Xbox 360s depending on average volume of store.

Best Buy: 20 to 60 Xbox 360s with a larger shipment coming “later that week.”
