That's cool that you were able to verify that with Tony, as I suspected that the 500 stores were just a test all along. I'm sure part of the plan also included the 6 Walmarts and of course would have to be approved/coordinated with Walmart's corporate office. I used to work as a vendor (HP) next to their Corp office, and it's a huge deal to work with them. I'm sure this is all part of a bigger plan that we're not privy to yet.
Also if you're saying sales now are the best ever also means that the product has been sold to Walmart already and just staging for the official release date.
Of course all speculation, but this makes the most logical sense.
