Amazon has about 3 percent marketshare

that's it? I expected higher.

I guess Walmart and Gamestop/EB games must be huge.



All my games are from amazon, NSMB Ds and Wii, Mario and luigi 3, Mario Galaxy etc... Best place for me to buy my games...

Pd: Also for most of venezuelan gamers thats the best place to buy games at original cheap prices, not at 150 $ or 200$...



We are Wii....Waiting for Pikmin 3! and Pikmin 2 NPC...

   Playing:

   - Donkey Kong Country Returns

   - Minecraft!

   -  Venezuela FTW!       

Only 3 percent? I thought it would be a lot more then that. I buy a lot of my games from amazon because they have good prices and I always get the free shipping.



concidering amazon is a online retailer that's pretty good.

Hope that marketshare gets higher- they have the cheapest prices for games often times.

Did you pull those numbers out of your ass or do you have a source?



In my area, most people buy games from Best Buy or Fry's. Barely anyone buys games from Wal-mart.



Battlefield Bad Company 2 > Modern Warfare 2

People, don't call it only 3%. I would be pretty happy if I was responsible for 3% of the market share of gaming industry in U.S!

Now serious, 0.03 X 30 billion = 900 million of sales. Profit should be something near 350 million. It's pretty good!

IOI i have a question. How much small stores count together? Like the small stores that aren't related to any franchise.
