Umm... it's up to the shop to stop buying PS3 if they have too many...

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.

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.

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

I know there are a few posters I've seen here that work at Gamestop; I can't wait for them to come ITT because ignorance is astrounding. >__>
Sony does NOT care about vgchartz numbers. I doubt Sony even cares this site exists. Sony is NOT giving things way for "free."
The logical explanation is that Sony counts shipped to retailers as sold, and they are trying to hit their 15million mark. Whatever they're doing with Gamestop Inc or anyone else is FAR above my head, as I'm only an assistant manager.
But again, you're wrong about us "ordering from sony" and you're wrong about "ordering based on demand." Like I said, don't post things if you have no idea what you're talking about; like I said, I'm willing to make a ban bet.
My topic was merely speculation and to see if anyone else working at retail is experiencing similiar things, because I've talked about it to people locally but I do not know more outside from that. It's not normal to recieve tons of shipments on a product that we already have mass quantity of, even for Christmas.
