There are 6,200 Wal-Marts and over 5,200 Gamestop stores worldwide. 1600 Targets, 1000 Best Buys, 1300 Toys R Us.
There are many more options for people to purchase consoles from, but just taking those, it averages to less than 12 people per day, per store. Those numbers aren't so hard to imagine, now are they? One console per store, every two hours. And in fact, it is much less than that, because there are many stores that I did not take into account, and millions buy online from Amazon or other places.
1.24 million consoles/handhelds per week seems like a lot, but when you spread it out over the entire world, it's really not that big.
