360 Roundup: Chilled, and in stock at Walmart

• Xbox 360 and PSP duke it out on Yahoo!’s top product searches for 2005 — and PSP wins. In the electronics category, PSP comes in third, 360 fourth, and PS3 sixth. [Yahoo!]

• Walmart’s New Year’s circular advertises Xbox 360s in stock, finally. But at least one store on the west coast sold out of its share before the ad even went public. [Xbox Today, PunchJump]

• PS3 may be the life of the party next weekend at the Consumer Electronics Show, but a cooled-down version of the Xbox 360 will also be on display. Somebody has rigged up the processor to a liquid cooling system, and if it’s popular, they might actually produce them for the mass market. [Kotaku]

• Meanwhile, 360 sales in Japan are still very slow. A total of 58,000 have been sold, with less than 6,000 sold in the week ending Dec. 25. That’s downhill from the week it clocked in around 8,000 — less than the Gamecube. [Xbox Today]
