Just so you know, Argos WILL be keeping this deal, and they won't be dropping the cube.
This also means that many other retailers WILL follow suit because of their price match promises. The only group dropping supposedly dropping the Cube is the Dixons group. The rest are keeping it.
This only means one thing, this deal will do for the Cube that the other deal did for the Xbox, and it's starting to show. Like I said before though, time will tell. It seems to be running in Nintendo's favour at the moment though.
I don't think it will maintain sales these high every week, but it will definately keep the sales atleast as high as the Xbox's, and maybe even nearly as high as the PS2's on average. Again, we can only tell in a few months.

just to make sure, you guys do realize that the big sales were heavily influenced by the fact that some stores were selling the system + free game(s) for really low prices, right?

Well, I think that's the general point of a price drop... you know, to increase sales
. It worked for the Xbox (after several price cuts).
