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.


Was that currently?  

I didnt know if they changed them shop to shop or not.  I didnt really find it odd that they werent in the front glass here, i just found it odd that they literally didnt have any kind of PS4 ads in any of the stores at all.  Not inside or outside. Especially because it is a new and popular product i would expect them to have some kind of poster talking about it. Could just be the stores here though

I went to a Gamestop recently and they had one poster that was visible from the outside that had Xbox One on it. On the reverse which is visible only if you go inside and look at it, it had PS4 on it. Otherwise mostly current gen stuff.

Must be a store to store thing since everybody is reporting somewhat different stuff. Good to know, thanks guys :)

umm.. 2 weeks ago is the last time i walked by i think.

Lots of XBOX One no PS4 advertisements, but then again my Gamestops (I have 5 around here) have been pro XBOX since the first XBOX.(They have always pushed XBOX harder then other systems)



Nintendo Wii by generations...

1. Wii

2. Wii U

3. Wii O U

Predictions made by gamers concerning the current Nintendo line up of games.

Pikmen 3= Little Bump to nothing. (Got Little Bump)

Wind Waker HD= Won't sell anything (The explosion happened here and at one time 4 Wii U games was in the Amazon top 100)

Super Mario 3D World= Won't help at all looks cheap. (Currently the most sought after Wii U game and continuing the Wii U increase.)

Not only are all three Gamestops in my area promoting PS4 more but all three store managers that I spoke to confirmed that PS4 has significantly more preorders in their stores and that they never filled their X1 allocations before they were told to stop taking preorders. That happened three different times for them. First on the initial allocations and then both times when they were allowed to take preorders again. PS4 preorders sold out every time. Only one store came close to filling their allocation before they were cut off.

Ebgames near me have empty PS4 boxes in the middle of the store.

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 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 wasn't paying too much attention at GameStop because all I wanted were X and Y, lol.

When I first saw Ryse at E3 I was blown away. But after seeing more of the combat it decreased, plus the Internet initially killed my buzz after reading all the hate comments. Now it seems to be looking much better, and it's a game I definitely have to at least give a chance too. I'm not that into realistic racers, but I want to also give Forza a chance. I keep hearing that it's also a little more "arcadey" compared to its competitors, which is a plus for me. Dead Rising 3 is the One game that sold me the most! So, DR3, Forza, and Ryse are the games I want to play!

Agreed, I just do not like the DS3, it's too cramped for me, and I have small hands. Also, I had no idea you could buy thrid party controller for PS3... interesting.

yes, literally from the day after E3 my local gamestop has two columns of PS4 boxes at the entrance of the stores with a $399 price tag

the XB1 only started around the end of sept or beginning of oct

I went to my local Gamestop store last week and I haven't seen any advertisement for the XBOX ONE nor PS4.
