Are you kidding me? Why would Target not mention anything about PS4 or any product when it's selling so well? That's straight up the worse excuse...

PR talking or not, Switch has made such buzz for them to put them on the list of hottest items when PS4 isn't (and again, if it's selling the way people is claiming it is, there's no way Target wouldn't mention it on the list).

You see the world isn't as straight forward as that....

Imagine for a moment, you as a store own get a better return on a Switch than you do a discounted PS4, or you earn more money from accessories of said console.... another store has a better deal than you for the PS4... would you:

1. Promote your store as having worse deals than the competitors on a product that you'll not make a lot on.

2. Promote a product that isn't heavily discounted and you'll earn more money on and has more expensive games and accessories as its new.

Tell me from a business perspective why you would at this point promote 1. It's all Bs.

That's actually a very good question.

 

If the PS4 was selling out the way people seem to make it look, I would definitely mention it and would let people know that once the discounted ones are out, they can come to my store and get one maybe with a $25 gift card or some small add on, that's a no brainer.

 

If the PS4 wasn't selling as people make it look, I wouldn't mention it because there's no point on making my store just seem as the most expensive option when they can go and get it somewhere else in a better price.

 

What would you do?
