Forums - Sales - Best buy sales analysis from best buy employee US

 

Hello everyone, I am posting information based on weeks of observation from a best buy employee on video game software and hardware sales....

during the christmas week, and the week before..

PS vita sold very well... sold out of the assassins creed liberation bundles, and sold a lot of call of duty ps vita bundles

PS3 and 360 were by far the top sellers..... as most customers coming out of gaming would come out with a PS3 and 360

Wii U is completely and has been completely IN STOCK almost as much as the completely in stock PS3..and I mean WII U BASIC AND PRO CONSOLES

Wii is sold out due to low stock

DS sold well

3DS was a top seller.. as it was $149 during christmas week.....

 

software:

PLAYSTATION ALL STARS WAS A COMPLETE SELL OUT without a discounted price

JAK AND DAXTER COLLECTION was a COMPLETe sell out

No offence, but given that you're a hardcore Sony fan I'll take this with a massive scoop of salt.



If Internet taught me one useful thing it's this: proof or it didn't happen. How about a picture of, lets say your employee ID-card?



thank you! It is always interesting to see the sales from different retailers. It is also interesting when other retail stores are completely different! I keep seeing different results haha. Maybe some stores stock less, or stock more. idk.

Where is this store? City?



Nintendo Network ID = itsJabby

Interesting, out of the software are those the only two games sold out? I know where I shop they stocked up heavy on ps all stars over Christmas not sure how well they sold though.

The WiiU just seems to have nobody interested, I was talking to one of my friends the other day and he didn't even know what a WiiU was, another one of my friends thought the wiiU was just a controller that you add to your wii

Now we only need report from the 100.000 other retail stores and put this puzzle together.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

I added a picture for you guys for proof in regards to Wii U

No.. there were a lot of games sold out, I'm just pointing out what I can confirm were complete sell outs

Oh yes.... yes.... PS Vita sold a little over 70k last week and Wii U over 150k....

If the Vita sold very well and sold out, Wii U sales must have been P H E N O M E N A L
