Anyway, each section in the aisles at Target are 4 feet wide. In every Target I've been in the last year the set up is the same. One aisle for PS products that have 6 sections (that was aisle F14 at my old store. However, the new one has the books on the opposite side of the games which push it back a few aisles... so maybe F16 - F18). On the front end cap of this aisle are accessories for cameras being that F13 has the camera displays. The back end cap (which is also 4 feet but case takes a lot of that space away) is the PS3 kiosk with the PS3 case under it. F15 is a 4 sided shelving unit (These might be 3 feet I'm not sure. Never set these). The front is for all new 360/ps3 releases so right now it has Halo and BLOPS. The back is for 360 games. One side has the PS Vita kiosk and its case under it. The other side is ps360 accessories... Then F16 is in the same aisle the 4 sided F15 is in but has a gap between them (obviously). It only has 4 sections because of the 4 side. These are where the 360 games are. The front end cap is of a display and is where the walkthroughs are held. The back end cap is of the 360 kiosk and 360 case. Then F17 is back to back with F16 so it only has 4 sections also. This is where most of the Wii games are held. F18 is another 4 side. The front is the Wii/3ds new releases. One side is all the Ps360 PSN/gold subscription cards. The back side is of all the 3ds accessories. And the other side is of the 3ds/ds games. F19 is in the same aisle as the 4 side so it is also only 4 sections long. The first 2 sections are for the skylanders games. The other 2 are more wii games. Front end cap is 3ds kiosk with it's case and the back end cap is Wii kiosk and case. F20 is back to back with F19 and is 4 sections of 3ds/ds games. F21 is again a full aisle so has 6 sections. First section are budget games for Wii/DS. Second for the 360 and 3rd for the Ps3. The other 3 sections are the computer software. The endcaps are for printers I think since the next aisle are printers... or external hard drives maybe |
I'll have to stop into a Target, most of ours have converted to the "supercenter" style and it's been a while since I've been in one.
Oh, and if you don't know who I'm talking about, if you're in Wisconsin, you will. Very soon.

I didn't say the entire chain had discontinued the Vita, just my local branches.
"My local supermarkets (Tesco, ASDA and Sainsburys) have all discontinued the Vita."
My prediction threads:
Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Sure........................
| superchunk said: While this has been true in the various retailers near me for the most part of the gen... its more of an awesome pat on the back for MS and the 360 than anything else. 360 is one console and shares the same amount of space as Nintendo gets for 2 or currently, 4 consoles. Which is twice that of Sony and its 2 consoles. Additionally you have to see the actual placement of each console area. At the beginning of the gen, Sony had the prime location right off the main walkway, with MS next and then Nintendo in the rear. By 2008, that had completely reversed with it being Nintendo, then MS, then Sony. Then by 2010, it changed again to be MS, then Nintendo, then Sony. |
Our local Meijer (Lowell, MI) is setup like this..... First is Wii then DS/3DS, then Xbox 360 then PS3/PSP/Vita. The total space for Sony is less than the total space for the 360 which is less than the total space for Nintendo.
Stop hating and start playing.
| VGKing said: OP, where do you live? Which retailer exactly is doing this? I went to a local Target recently and noticed that the Vita section is really small. It's understandable. But the PS3 section is just as big as the 360 and Wii sections. Why would a retailer take it out on the PS3? It's selling well pretty much everywhere. |
I asked if they were adding a glass case (4') and was told no.
The only real impact this has is it makes facing the games impossible and provides less room to keep stock on the floor. So buyers will have to look at the end panel of the case to see the name of the game, and if they want to look at the game case, ask for help. If they want a console, and one isn't available on the floor, an associate would need to go and grab one from stock.
It's not end of the world, it's just retail space being shuffled.
| leatherhat said: If its like the stores around here they will have a lot of ps2/psp space to cut. |
No, they cut that. Most stores have room for two extra glass cases, but they aren't adding any. They're using what is there, which means somethings gotta give and that something is the PS3 section.
do the bigger places have samsung stores,where i live i have an apple,panasonic and sony shop but no samsung shop,are they going to have stores nationwide or are they not into it,there must be some in london or the big cities
Above & Beyond

My local Tesco never even bothered with the Vita or the 3ds. There are only ps3/360 games available. Haven't seen any wii games in ages.I live in Edinburgh. Guess it varies.
