That seems really low. But when you think there are 1203 Target stores in the USA. That would be 20,451 PS4's they could sell. Which still seems kinda low to me, but Target sells many more things that just electronics.


2019 stores in NA

Couple months ago i made a thread about preorders at target. People complained because there was no hard numbers. Well here they are. 170 ps4's at 10 stores averaging 17 per store. 

Remind me before X1 launch and I'll make a similar thread.


If you can salvage one from the rush may send to a brazilian gamer

Target has 1778 stores in US (http://investors.target.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=65828&p=irol-homeprofile)

See my post a few above yours.

Ah, thanks, was looking it up when you posted.  I got an old number.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

OK, everyone is giving me different numbers, but since you work there I think yours are probably most relevant.

I wonder how they would compare to a Best Buy or Gamestop?

I do know when the PS3 launched, the Targets generally only got 10-12 units per store period. Some stores only got 6 of them. What really pissed me off was that the Target employees knew that they only had 8 of them at their store and there were 20+ people waiting in line for hours. 25 minutes before they opened, they came out to tell us they only had 8 of them. There were people there the whole time and they could have come out and just told us.

Target is a bigger retailer than best buyr but i dont think we would get the same amount for an electronic like ps4. Gamestop, walmart and amazon would definitly get more.

I can also say the minimum a store got was 12 units (my store which is the lowest volume) the highest volume store (naperville and is a super target) recieved 25 units

Funny, when i make an ambiguous thread people comment about bwing ambiguous. When i make a non ambiguous thread they dont care. 

I could probably get some numbers from milwaukee too but at would require a 20minute out of the way drive for me

At the PS3 launch, Best Buy store by me had 80 units and the high volume store got 120 units.  When the PS2 launched, that same store got 200+ units.  If I had to guess, I would guess that same store will get 50+ of the PS4.  I can find out from a friend.

I agree that electronic retailers usually get a lot more units, as does Walmart(they use their leverage to get more of everything).



It is near the end of the end....

Just wanted to add that I was at Best Buy earlier and I got to talking about the PS4 with an employee. He said the store had about 400 preorders and that they would get about 50 units that weren't preordered. I found it a little hard to believe, especially the none preordered amount.
