You can't really expect people to buy Vitas along with their carrots and butter anyway...

Those are the two most typical things you buy in a supermarket? Carrots and Butter?  (1) Not milk, or eggs, or bread or anything? 

Anyway, here in England supermarkets have a specialised area for electronics, not just video games. And they sell well. They do pre-owned, retro, pre-order bonuses etc., and it's so big it's destroyed much of the dedicated games stores competition. For most people, or a large number anyway, it's get your games and consoles from the supermarket, online, or not at all. (2)

A supermarket not stocking a game or a console is almost as big a blow as a games store.

(1) the first things that came to mind. I don't buy carrots or butter, not even milk or eggs : generally chocolate, meat, orange juice and whisky XD

(2) I didn't know that. It seems to be very different from France. Here in supermarkets the games are usually in tiny spaces, with terrible layout and they're overpriced. It's the last place where a gamer would buy his games from.
