Forums - Gaming - Is your Gamestop advertising PS4?

Knowing Microsoft they most likely paid Gamestop to focus on the Xbox One, like they did with EA at E3. For every single game they said avaliable for Xbox and not once PS. Even for Fifa and such.

Doubt it.



My local EB I thought they weren't even taking pre orders for PS4 cause they had no signage I asked them if they were they said "yes" so I pre ordered. Then I asked them which has the most pre orders and they said " PS4" which Is strange seen as the shop had bearly anything indicating they were even taking pre orders for it lol

Well that happens with both Sony/MSFT often.  Just look at the Kingdom Hearts III demo for example and all the confusion whether it was exclusive to PS4 or not.  Or Assassin's Creed IV demod at PS4 conference.  They dont mention Xbox One either.  That is just business in general.  Wouldnt fault either for it really.




       

My GameStop was advertising Wii U... no seriously, I saw a poster of the Wii U Wind Waker Bundle on the Outside alongside One and 4. I walk inside and I want to say they advertised more so for Xbox than PS, but PS presence was still known. Both consoles will sell well.

Kind of unrelated:
Are you picking up Xbox One at launch JayWood? If so, what games? I'll eventually get both, but I'm not sure which to get first. I like the One controller better (prefer the analog stick placement), but I want to try both first, because PS4's controller looks vastly improved.

Yeah PS4 def looks like it is getting more preorders right now looking at VGC numbers.  My local gamestoop told me both sold out in the first week so it looks like whoever ships the most will be getting the most orders.  Hence Sony seemed better prepared for bulking.




       

I think its up to the manager to put up this stuff. They get a ton of promotional junk and plenty doesnt get used. I would guess stores sold out of XB1's have more PS ads and vice versa.



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.

Yeah WiiU Wind Waker was being advertised in the front with CoD Ghosts at all three here.

And yeah I am.  I preordered Ryse and Im getting Killer Instinct.  Though there is more i want but I will wait until i get bored of them two first.  TitanFall is what sold me though. So excited xD

And oh yeah, PS4 controller looks so much better than the DS3 this time around.  I really hated DS3 personally so Im so happy that when I get a PS4 that i will likely like the controller this time instead of buying 3rd party ones :)  Cant wait to try both.  Really looking forward to trying the impulse triggers for example.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Pokemon XY was being advertised xD




       

i don't go into gamestop but the window facing the street is a bit of everything. CoD. xbone. ps4. wiiU (zelda bundle). AC:BF. watchdogs.



My local gamestop store has all the PS3 and Nintendo stuff in the front, and the Xbox360 stuff in the back. It was reverse a few years ago though.
