Also, why the fuck would 360 have 12 feet and the wii, wii u, 3ds, and DS have the same amount?

I know for a fact it isn't target then because if we are including all Nintendos console then Target has like 60 feet of shelf space for Nintendo...

Sounds to me like this "big box store" is a very tiny player in the video game business if it only has 7 sections  (One section is four feet) for video games. Compare that to targets ~36 sections. 7 sections for 3DS/DS. 7 sections for the Wii. 6 sections for the 360. 7 sections for Ps3, vita, and psp... then there are about 7 sections that are rotated with just big releases and even divided for the systems... then I fogot about the computer software wall as an extra section for each nintendo, 360, and PS.

What market are you in?  That's a lot of retail space.  None of the retailers, except for GameStop, Play-n-Trade, and Best Buy dedicate that much space around here.  While I haven't been in the Target supercenters, none of the Target stores here dedicate that much retail space to games.

Like I said, some stores will have more or less retail space, depending on the store design.  There are some that are showcase stores, so they have significantly larger gaming sections, but the average store doesn't have 36 (4') sections of glassed in shelf space.  The amount of space dedicated to gaming is no more or less than any of their competition.

The Wii currently gets a  4' section, primarily for faced games, with the bottom shelf dedicated to boxed systems or locked accessories.  The DS/3DS gets a single 4' section with some Wii spill over.
