Forums - Gaming - Game Systems on Black Friday...

I had gone to 4 stores, a walmartr, best buy, toysrus, and circuit city, just to get a new PSP because mine broke on Thanksgiving.They had none in stock until I got to Circuit City, and I saw a shit load of Nintendo DS's. Is it the same for everyone else?

No but the Best buy by my house sold out of Zunes!!! I was surprised. Rock Band was also a complete sell through



No, because the Wii's are actually selling for a profit.



ya I noticed a ton of console selling like mad. I walked into Circuit City because I was bored and walking around the plazas with my friends. 30 people in line at the first register, at 9pm, like 13 at 360s (received 200), no Wiis (manager said those sold out in the morning and they only received like 40), 17 with PS3s (received 200 like the 360), and like the last 10 had both 360s and PS3s. It was quite a sight actually, and my god i could figure out how the hell they could hold that amount of crap they were.

Another side thing that shocked me, all their video and sound cards were sold out. Every single one.

CNN Money early report:

http://money.cnn.com/2007/11/23/news/economy/black_friday/index.htm?cnn=yes

"According to [Toys "R" Us CEO Gerald] Storch, the hottest sellers were the Microsoft Zune MP3 player, Transformers toys, Hannah Montana dolls, Nintendo's Wii and the Guitar Hero videogame."

I work part time at Fred Meyer and even on Wednesday we had sold out our entire Guitar Hero stock on Wednesday, let alone Friday.



Numbers: Checker Players > Halo Players

Checkers Age and replayability > Halo Age and replayability

Therefore, Checkers > Halo

So, Checkers is a better game than Halo.

Zunes are sold at a loss? I find that hard to believe. Where did you hear that?



Zunes have become hot!



Walmarts 10 Blu-ray movies with the PS3 starts tomorrow not today so expect the extreme chance the first sellout of the PS3, at Walmart, to happen tomorrow since launch.

"“The Wii, the Nintendo, the Playstation, the iPod are all very popular gifts” this year, said Richard G. Kabobjian, a managing partner with business services consultants Deloitte & Touche."

No mention of XBox360 at all.

Includes 4 of the 5 major systems, all except the PSP in their recommended purchases.

Do you really think they can sell 30gb Zune's for $99 and make a profit?
