Interesting Gamestop data that contradicts NPD April

There has to be something we are missing and I think I know what it is. First of all market share isn't found out simply by hardware revenue in the first place so I guess I should have thought of that beforehand instead of jumping to conclusions.

Secondly I know for a fact that on a weekly basis(considering my bro works at a Gamestop) that they get about 5-10 new consoles in. Compared to a Best Buy where they can get anywhere from 20-60 a week depending on the product. So theoretically sales would have to be at least 3x greater. But that would mean in the hardware revenue market share that Best Buy has close to 45% market share. When Walmart and Target get about the same as Best Buy. This isn't adding up to 100%. This is where I have problems seein that even just in the hardware revenue for market share that GS could have 17%. Leaving only 83% to WalMart, Target, Best Buy, and multiple other chains whether bigger or not.

Are you at least getting where my surprise is coming from.

Not really.

You forget there are 954 Best Buy in the US and 4000 or so Gamestops...

So do the maths and you get 20 to 40k console a week for Gamestop and 20 to 60k for Best Buy....
