Forums - Sales - Holidays 2014 Anecdotal Sales Thread

Last time I went to a mall, I hung around the game store a few days after Bayonetta 2 released.

In fifteen minutes:
5 X360 games (all curiously sold to kids)
2 PS4 games (one sold to some neckbeard who trashtalked me and my 3DS, the other sold to a kid who clearly wasn't old enough to play the game)
2 PS3 games (both sold to kids, one of whom trashtalked the X360 buyers, mayhem ensued)
2 3DS games (I bought one for myself, too.)
1 Wii U game (aside from my TW101 buy, of course)
Steam credit (amount unspecified)
$10 eShop credit

That's it, in fifteen minutes. Heavy advertising for niche games on the TV, while in-store physical ads all heavily advertised to dudebros.

Rack sizes as follows:
DS > 3DS > X360 > Wii = PS3 > PS4 = XB1 = WiiU

Fully stocked, of course.



 
I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Have no hardware information to share but I was going to pick up a copy of Sunset Over drive today, at local eb games store in Australia and they said it was sold out due to high demand.



I saw a man dressed as a panda frantically buying multiple Xbox One bundles.

You're not clever. Or funny.

Nothing changed in the area of Frankfurt, Germany. PS4 still selling strong. Last week I saw a whole lot of PS4s coming in at my local Media Markt. Must have been around 100 consoles. They are almost completely gone. Meanwhile, the X1 isn't selling at all. Massive amounts of Titanfall bundles and theres even still a day one Package left from launch last year.

600?! No wonder it's still on the shelf!



True, but it didn't cost that much all the time. They're trying to make some extra cash just in case someone really wants to have the day 1 Edition. I still find it funny that you basically can Walk into a store and get a Day 1 bei bundle quite easily, even if a little expensive.

Wow, that's terrible! I don't think MS can do anything to save the X1 in Europe.
