Walmart and Best Buy are among the big retailers to unveil holiday deals Thursday on products like ultra-high-definition smart televisions, laptops and gaming consoles. Amazon.com is also touting its Black Friday discounts early, while Target will roll out offers on home decor and bedding this weekend. This year’s X factor is the demise of Toys “R” Us, which has put as much as $100 billion in sales up for grabs, according to Target. The bankruptcy of Sears Holding Corp. may create additional openings for big retailers. Holiday sales are seen increasing 5.8 percent this year and surpassing $1 trillion for the first time, according to researcher eMarketer.
