WRONG. It's not up to us as a retailer; maybe the corporation as a whole trying to smooth out shipments across all stores in a region, but NOT us. This is a product that isn't exactly the fastest selling thing on the market (like DS) yet we keep getting more shipments, and our DM just wants us to make space for everything.

You obviously don't work in retail.

You're joking right? Someone has to make the order in your store- companies just don't send out batches of products and hoped they guessed right. Its up to the store to make the orders based on demand. 

You obviously don't work in retail.

Why are people posting when they have no idea how Gamestop works? It's like I'm getting attacked by Sony loyalists like this is all a conspiracy. Then again, this is VGchartz.

1) "someone has to make the order in your store"

Would you like to bet a ban? Store Managers don't "order" more like it's some sort of resturant. Not even District Managers do that.

2) " Its up to the store to make the orders based on demand. "

Wrong, again. Demand is high for Kinect and 250gb 360's, yet we don't "order" them. We get them shipped randomly, which has to do with Microsoft and Gamestop Inc. Same regarding this and Sony.

Next time, don't critisize somebody if you have no idea what you're talking about.

Edit:

"Also I like how you have three pics of the same stack of ps3's"

You're just showing that you seem to be offended/hurt by my original post. Where did I say it wasn't? My phone cannot take a picture of the whole stock so I did top half/ bottom half, and more to the side. This isn't even counting the ones behind this stack that I cannot access unless I move that mountain.

My original post is going wayyy over your head.

This.  I'm pretty sure the manager/owner of the store is in charge of ordering stock, or if it's a corporation, the corp. would redirect the flow of console shipments if one store has too many or make sure not to order anymore.

So let me get this straight, whoever gets your stores products has fucked up so badly that they have vastly overordered ps3s? Because sony doesn't just ship them places. Someone on your end is ordering them. 

So here are the possibilities

- Sony is forcing stores to buy their product (or giving them away for free to get their numbers on vgchartz up)

- Someone on your side consistently fucks up the ordering of ps3s in a big way and no one at your store is telling them to stop

-You are lying

45-ish 160gig PS3's, more $400 Move bundles (I don't know how many but it looks like 11-12 of those, hard to count estimate because most are behind the other skus) downstairs.

Even more upstairs in our stockroom as I said if you actually read my post.

I don't know if you're familiar with Gamestop, but that isn't normal for a big Gamestop even at holiday, and this is what our small store has had since September.

It's like triple or more from last year.

Better idea!

GameStop's upper managment is run by communists who are recieving funding from Sony to accept PS3s and distribute them equally among their comrades (being the stores themselves)!

45 regular PS3, 12 Bundles, 15 upstairs, there more than 72 PS3 in your small store and they are not selling and Sony keeps sending. While 360 is sellout, and Wii moving a good paste.

Stupid Sony should be doing the the same thing with the PSP.
