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

Well they discontinued the 30 gig. thats probably just a clearance to get rid of stock. they only have 4 gig 8 gig and the 80 gig now. all those bulky 30 gigs are priced for permanent clearance. I dont think the new generation zunes are sold at a loss. They make money on it like I pod

I haven't seen any evidence that the newer models are selling briskly at full retail price.

"Nintendo vs. Sony: Will Wii Shortages be PS3's Gain?"

""Since [Fils-Aime] made that statement, we have raised our production yet again," Kaplan told ABCNEWS.com in a recent interview. "I've been at Nintendo a long time, and I have never seen us ramp our numbers up so many times, nor have we ever produced so much of any console. … But the demand has just so far exceeded our expectations. It's fabulous. We want consumers to know that we're completely aware, love them for it."

Kaplan urged customers to to wait for extra consoles to hit the retail shelves. "


Article on ABCNews.com lists "'Guitar Hero 3' (Wii): You Rock" article, choosing the Wii version for whatever reasons.

"Electronic gadgets, particularly the hard-to-find Nintendo Wii, topped shoppers' wish lists, though frustrations were high among consumers who couldn't get their hands on the limited bargains."

No mention of the others.



Numbers: Checker Players > Halo Players

Checkers Age and replayability > Halo Age and replayability

Therefore, Checkers > Halo

So, Checkers is a better game than Halo.

Though I love my iPod(s), I welcome the success of the Zune. Anything that forces Apple to end the ass-raping they deliver the consumer on every iPod sold is cool with me.

There was a posting at a Fred Meyer in Washington State that stated supply shipments for GH3 had not arrived from manufacturers for the holiday sale, for all platforms.

There were still 20 or so 360's and PS3's on the shelves, but the Wii's were gone.

That doesn't say much about sales, but if I had to guess, I'd be figuring Wii-outages are occurring again.

I went to Best Buy on Wednesday to pick up one of the two PS3s I was buying this year for my parents/brother and I took one of the two PS3s they had left, but I passed two pallets of 360s still in shrink wrap. It looks like Microsoft shipped tons of 360s out and Best Buy put them center aisle. I might swing back today and see if they are still there. I avoided "Black Friday" shopping like the plague.



It seems the mods need help with this forum.  I have zero tolerance for trolling, platform criticism (Rule 4), and poster bad-mouthing (Rule 3.4) and you will be reported.

 can you get a picture



Where I am at I saw lots of all the systems on Saturday, with exception of Wii. I saw a huge display of XBOX's. There were no Premiums but plenty of arcade/halo/120 gig. There were a few PS3's 80/40 gigs pretty much filling out whatever shelf space they had. I assumed there were no Wii's, and I saw a customer with a DS as well as another with a PSP but didn to check the actual stock out in the open. I honestly think that PS3 and XBOX are over shipping while Wii is under shipping.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
