I know they were a partner for the release of the XBox360 but still at my BestBuy they are pushing it way too far.

Let me explain :

Xbox360 games area : Biggest of the new gen area, that I can understand because this console does have more games out. Most games available, instead of the game you get an empty game box so that you can see the game art and have to pick your copy at the cashier when you pay ( they keep them in a locked cage because of thefts issues I believe).

Wii : Same as Xbox except 1/3rd of the size and in an area not as much visited.

PS3 : Cheap ass Black and White copy of the game box coverts are on display for maybe half the games, the rest you just have the game name and a sticker with the price and that's it. Pick your game at the cashier like Xbox ( if you bothered to ask someone in the shop if they actually had it because the fact nothing is on display except the game name makes you believe it's sold out).

 

Seriously, that's pushing it and seeing how the XboX360 outsells the PS3 so much I can't believe the PS3 area is half empty because it's sold out, and the cheap ass black and white poor quality of the box art really SUCK !.

 

PS : And the Xbox360 display area has a much better exposure in the shop to casual shoppers than the Wii or the PS3....

 

 


 The 360 has the most floor space because it's popular, they have consoles to sell at all times of the week, it has a large amount of accessories, it has several different SKU's, and it has a large library.

While the Wii is more popular or has at least sold more, it doesn't have as many accessories, it only has one SKU, it doesn't have consoles readily available throughout the week, and it doesn't have as large as library as the 360.

The PS3 has an even smaller section because while it does have more SKU's and readily available consoles, it's not as popular as either of the other two.

As for the layout, that just depends on the store.
