I know you are going to blast me for not taking a picture, but it did happen.

Today I was in my local Wal-Mart to buy some basketballs for my 6yr son's team (he just joined his first team and I'm going to coach). As I always do I strolled through the game section and BAM! there it was. The game center was completely switched.

It used to be in this order just a week ago.  mainwalkway->PS3/PSP endcap->PS3/PSP/PS2->360->walkway->Wii->DS. Of course each section had its own demo spots and tvs above.

Now its mainwalkway->Wii endcap->Wii->DS->walkway->360->PS3/PSP/PS2 with the demo spots all moved accordingly.

Nintendomination is clear at this point as not only do Nintendo products now have the higher visibility location, but they also have about 35% more shelf space.

Also, everywhere I go now there are wii fits and wii's instock equally as large as the piles of PS360s. I know this is kinda old news, but I just found it interesting as until the last few weeks I haven't seen more than 2-3 in stock. Now, I see 10+ easily in every store.

 

The Wal-Marts local to me (In Canada) it have been the following for at least a year:  DS - > Wii -> 360 -> PSP -> PS3
