The last of the next-gen consoles to hit the streets hit it running yesterday, selling out in N. America with many times the number of consoles on-hand than its most recent competitor. DailyTech's got a good run-down of the launch goings-on.

"Big box stores such as Best Buy and Wal-Mart had campers early the night before and easily sold out hours before official store opening. Perhaps after experiencing the chaos of PlayStation 3, retailers were bit smarter in organizing crowds."
