you can just about see inside

 

lol also the ps3 is starting to take over a little bit of the 360 wall especially with the release of AC 2 and Uncharted2. AC2 was heavily advertised on the ps3 here in th UK so its not sellling much on 360

we have 3 gamestore's in our town, 1 has most room for WiiDS and 2 have most room for PS3 and DS..

in Holland Wii sells about equal as PS3, but since Sept 1 PS3 has been outselling Wii360 combined.. DS still tops all though.

Getting Plat trophies for: Heavy Rain, Infamous, RE5,  Burnout and GOW collection once I get it.

 

I wonder if this is connected to the strange layout for Canadians on VGC.

VGC and Sony are plotting to destroy Canada confirmed?

With a year and a half headstart it only stands to reason that the x360 would take up a lot more shelf space over wii/ps3 for he first couple years.

Now the software gap has narrowed the shelf space should be more even.

As for "x360 rules NA" it again stands to reason if you take the US population against the Canadian population. No brainer.





I don't get why the prices are different from USA to Canada

The Canadian Dollar is weaker than the US dollar.

Well in my experience Best Buy sucks to buy ANY game, my local best buy isn't stocked at all. I just go to the one in the hundreds of thousands of Gamestops when I have to get a game on a deal, or a damned pre-order bonus. Overall though I go with Amazon.

It is the exact same in the US mate. I imagine all big box retailers are like that. Although, infamous and killzone should be in stock normally, but probably are sold out due to holiday demand. Sony is generally pretty terrible at keeping popular games in stock, at least here in the states, I don't know about other places.

Not true, Best buy has an EQUAL space for every console, gamestop does as well I believe
