Forums - Sales Discussion - Something Fishy going on at GameStop

So how can a company double the amount of sells of hardware systems than the other two companies. But then turn around and sell less software, by a grand, than one company. This makes no sense. They have almost a 2 million unit lead and yet no one is buying games, i smell something fishy going on. Maybe like stores  are over stocked and not as many people as we think have a PS4, it make sense.

I just came from three different GameStops and each one had a whole wall, the longest one, dedicated to Sony and two of these store were in different cities (Nintendo 3DS and WiiU combined had  a little corner in the back, no seriously).I was like WTF! This is ridiculous because Walmart,Target, and Toys, R, Us are pretty much even. So after reading these numbers and seeing what I saw today I believe GameStops are probably  way over stocked and those Hardware numbers are retailers purchase.

No



Sony had the largest section cause the PS4 is the most popular console right now.

Really because it looks like PS4 and  3DS have been going back and forth for past 2 months now and GameStop  just shoved the 3DS back with the WiiU like it was selling like the Vita,even the VITA had more room then the 3DS. So this argument is flawed.

How does the PS4 have the biggest section?

I thought all GameStops had the same floor plan and the biggest section is definitely Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Huh..no? Look at US numbers, not global. 3ds barely outsold Wii u and is well below PS4 and xb1
