Forums - Sales - [News] Blockbuster: PS3 Sales Booming

So... 1 per week per store?

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

They have over 7800 stores in the US alone and another 2975 outside the US. 2-3k a week doesn't seem that impressive.

If its Blockbuster, they're selling them to people who want a Blu-Ray player not a Video Game Console.

 

Last-time I checked the video game section at Blockbuster is a lot bigger than the Blu-Ray section.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Maybe at yours, but not at mine.

Last-time I checked the PS3 Kiosk in Block Buster is showing only Blu-Ray movies, not games.

Note the displays are only in 3000 stores now, to be in all stores by September.  Can't hurt.

They should sell the damn TVs.

what about 360? No word how many 360s they sell?
I know they are selling Wii's now as well.



blockbusters scrambaling to sell shit there sales had to have dropped after ON demand netflix and all of the other download able sites



Nobody's brought up the fact that if this is true and holds out, this means blockbuster sales account for ~5% of all PStriples sold in the united states. I'm not saying they're gonna be solely Blu-Ray boxes, but how many 'hardcore' gamers do you know that would buy a console from Blockbuster? And no, they aren't sold out anywhere.



Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.

That amounts to 1 sales per week per store at most. That's a boom?

Wonder what the sales rate for the X360 and Wii are?

It might be less than 1 per store. There are 3000 stores with the special display, but more stores than that may be selling them.
