Wow! and the Arcade was designed with the family/casual in mind.

Keeping in mind that PS3's never sold well at Toys R Us compared to Gamestop/Wal Mart, yes, absolutely, our numbers are up. We've probably sold 100 percent more consoles in the last 3 weeks than we were three months ago, and I assume that number wil continue to increase. 

I was just saying today happened to be a 360 day.

Thank you but is the 80gb selling better than the 40gb?

Software? Yes, every day. It's still sold out.

I got 8 copies of Mario Party and 4 copies of Mario Strikers Charged, 12 copies of zelda and 20 of Metroid today; within an hour, when I left, we were out of Mario Party and Strikers again, down to 6 copies of Zelda, and 15 Metroid.


Oke, those are impressive sales, you must have had some busy days.

So you sold another 23 software units in 1hr...?

That's incredible.

I hope you get a semi-trailer turn up sometime between now and Friday restocking your store.

Will the store be "open" on Thursday (i.e. not to the public - but will there be people working there, getting everything ready for Friday?).

 Oop, sorry.

We've sold 1 40 GB, 2 80 GBs, and 1 60 GB (We have one left) this week. So it's certainly not dominating our sales, but... it's too small a sample size to draw conclusions.

The 80 GB is definitely our best seller right now, has been for several months.

Oh, another thing: PSP software is better. We really didn't sell much PSP software at all (maybe 10 units a week?) But I sold 10 games myself, just today. DS software has not seen a similar uptake in recent weeks.

Sorry to swamp you with questions but: Are you going to get more Wiis for Black Friday than you got for last Sunday?

Good question!

We will have 0 Wiis for Black Friday. We have many in a secret magical closet in the back of the store that were originally set aside for Black Friday, but the company as a whole has specifically decided not to sell Wiis on Black Friday to avoid violence. 

Those Wiis will go on sale next Sunday.  Currently, that shipment is smaller than the one for Sunday, but its quite possible we'll get more before then.
