Bargain bin status for God of War Ascension seems to be holding it in the charts. Gears of War Judgement is still full price for some reason, it really could do with a discount to boost sales.

Full Price?

That seems like a flash sale from 2 - 3 weeks ago at a retailer I have never even heard of... Gears if still full price at the main retailers, Amazon, Play and Game. 

Use up to date figures and check your facts next time please. ie;

Tesco may just be a supermarket, but its the 2nd biggest store for video games in the Uk. 

GOWJ = full price

GOWA = Discounted

 

 

Nope, both are discounted, though GOW much more than Gears.

Wrong. 

The second Gears J is on sale on Amazon, tesco or Game, thee biggest biggest retailers, that is when its discounted, not from random stores nobody has ever heard of. 

Wrong.

Shopto is well know, just because you never heard of it doesn't mean people don't use it. Also, Gears is discounted on Amazon. £35 is not full price.

Wrong. 

Shopto probably doesn't even have 1% merket share... their top selling game the last week was Soul Sacrifitce and it entered the charts at 26. 

Amazon, Tesco and Game have the biggest market share, and Gears is still full price, therefore most of the sales since launch have been at full price.
