“We are filling the pipeline to retailers across the U.S.,” Sally
said.

Toshiba’s players should be stocked in about 800 Best Buy stores, 200
Wal-Mart stores, 600 Sears stores and other regional retailers for a
total reach of 3,000 stores, she said.

“We’ve heard very positive sales reports so far,” Sally said.

Toshiba hasn’t released how many players it is shipping, but
distributors and retailers said they’ve heard estimates of 10,000 to
15,000 in the initial shipment.

=====================================
Which means only 3 to 5 per store.
Big deal!
