WiiBox3 on 17 December 2008
Comrade Tovya & Bodhesatva's thoughts are probably the main reason that the PS3 would be in front. It is true that companies often pay retailers to get prime shelf space and upfront displays. Also retailers like to put products that are not selling as well up front so that they may improve the sales of the product, esp. products that cost them a lot in overhead. Retailers may have stocked up on a lot of PS3s expecting a certain amount of Holiday sales, as they did with Wiis and 360s, but the PS3 is not selling as well as anyone expected. Since the PS3 outpaced the 360 most of the year they probably expected it to sell as well as or better than the 360 and thus probably overstocked the product.
