In America- Why? 360 vs. Wii/PS3

[forevercloud3000]

As a Gamestop employee I can tell you it is a little bit of both. Partially the relationship with the console company and other half bias. In my store, Nintendo rep is always in our store promptly whenever we need something. If one of there system displays is broken they fix it fast. MS is not as quick but still pretty fast. Our 360 system has gone RROD about 4 times since I have worked there. They are sure to replace it when it does. Everytime a big game comes out though managers at most stores play the new game in the 360 instead of the PS3. MADDEN for instance. Madden is multiplatform but most managers at gamestop dont bother with the PS3 version but instead only display the 360 version. The PS3 in my store personally has had the same demos since launch on it till recently.

In short Sony is not quick when it comes to getting the games advertised for there system, they only do it every blue moon. MS and NIN are much more prompt with it. Add a little bit of store bias in there and it comes to one company or the other getting overshadowed.
