Toys R Us is only like 3-4% of the market, and they're going bankrupt.

 

Not such a big deal. 

If your numbers are right... which... your likely guessing unless you work for NPD or some other group that's bothered to break down the percentages...

3-4% is actually a HUGE deal.  That's a fairly large part of the market when you consider how much of the Market Wal-mart takes up... there isn't that much left to track from.

Not to mention, since they are going bankrupt Toys R Us is moving more software then normal.

yea i've seen the 4% number on gaf, not sure how much truth there is, but it's certianly not much more than 4%.  Actually losing Toysrus is not that big of a deal, they still have over 50% of retailers and recently added online sources.  They still have all the historical data on toysrus, there should be very little error.  The main problem is wal-mart.
