I'd love to see how high the Wii and ps3 numbers would be if there were no supply issues.

Guess we'll never know, though.

As of yesterday, we had 8 pre-orders for ps3s at my store, and 10 for Wiis.  What's amazing about that Wii figure it that we get Wii stock on a more regular basis than ps3 stock, so we're selling nearly twice as much per week and we still end up with more Wii reserves on hand at the end of the week.

how are GOW3 & FF13 doing in pre-orders at your store?

As of yesterday:

God of War - 72
God of War Ultimate Edition - 12 (we've stopped taking reserves on these, actually)
Final Fantasy PS3 - 33
Final Fantasy 360 - 11

It's funny to see how many people don't pick up games, though.  We still have 10 reserves for MAG lolz.

And yeah, I'm a total numbers whore so I check our pre-order figures like 3-4 times everytime I work.  xD

cool thanks for the numbers!

Big Ps360 gap on the FFXIII numbers, GOW looks like it'll do amazing.

so how many pre-orders do you typically need to be able to do a midnight launch?

Normally it's ~100, but there's also a policy in place where if you're down the road from a Best Buy that might be doing a midnight launch, your store will be doing a midnight launch.  That's the case for us, so we're doing a midnight for both games.

oh ok so best buy are like your rivals

thanks for the info!
