I had some gift cards that I needed to use and with no games out right now that I really don't want and don't already have, i decided to pick up a couple BD movies and a PS3 remote. While I was at BB, the place was pretty packed and in the 30 minutes I was wandering around the movie/video game sections of the store, I noticed something rather interesting. BB had sold 6 PS3's while I was there. All 40gb's. One bought it just for BD movies and the occasional game, the rest picked up a few games and the console at the same time. The PS3 demo machine had a line of about 3 kids standing behind it, while I noticed that nobody was on the Wii demo machine. That's not to say that nobody wants the Wii, it's just what I noticed and decided to comment on it. I talked to the BB rep that seemed surprisingly knowledgable on the PS3 without spreading half truths like GS's usually do. He told me that they have been selling a great deal of the PS3's today with about 35 sold.
I then got my stuff there and went off the CC since BB was out of the BD movie I really wanted (RE: extinction) and noticed the same thing. Even though the store was quite dead for a Friday night, they sold 3 PS3's while I was there for 10 minutes and I overheard the kid working in that department say to another co-worker that he's just shocked at how many of the PS3's they had sold lately. Apparently we can expect another week of pretty solid PS3 sales if what I noticed is happening all around the country and not just in my neck of the woods. |
I would make the obvious comment that personal observation does not necessarily apply on a wide scale but I will focus on something else ...
Why would you spend money on a movie as awful as Resident Evil: Extinction? I could understand if you were being forced to watch it by a crazed madman, but to actually choose to watch it ...
