sitting on the shelf

The picture was taken at the Kaneohe Marine Corps Exchange store in Hawaii.

I thought I'd check out the electronics department because the store manager had made the announcement that "We have plenty of PS3 systems and games in stock" over the intercom of the store. Sure enough, 7 PS3s sat where they've been sitting for the past 3 weeks. They also had 5 systems behind the counter.

But I noticed one thing.....the Xbox 360 right next to it only has 6 systems sitting out. And there were no 360s behind the counter. Hmmm.........

obviously PS3 and 360 aren't doing as good as Wii . . . . . . . . .lol, that's too hilarious. But no one really knows the answer. But it's likely because the Wii is doing a lot better.

I don't see why all people tend to equate their own personal experience into a generalization for everything that is occurring.  I don't think that PS3 is selling all that great either.  But sampling one store =/= all stores as many others have said.

I don't think TC was trying to say 'one store=all stores' but that this is just another example of a store's 'dusty stock of unsold PS3s'.

Oh gee, This arguement is nonsense. 360 has one less on the floor than PS3...must not be selling. Guess what? PS3's sell when your not there...duh!

That is some piss poor PS3 stacking, if they stacked the front two on top of the two behind, it wouldn't snake out into the store like that, so it wouldn't be something I could trip over. I do not want to trip over your $600 doorstop on my way to the games shelf, thanks.

HAHAHAHAHA

I think you're comparing apples and oranges here... orange juice didn't come onto the market four months ago.
Actually I feel kind of like you're comparing hand grenades and orange juice - one should be easily found on a store shelf, the other shouldn't.

errr... what is the purpose of this thread? there are probably 1,000,000 ps3 and 6 xbox 360 units in that store the day the photo was taken and they never sold a wii, we dont know it might be a possibility.

I 100% agree. The Wii is the best system though, so it's not a big surprise.

The PS3 is getting owned!

Yeah well I believe this is common knowledge by now that you can easily purchase a PS3, so why post it?  You rarely see people posting pictures of 360s lying around in stores in Japan,

Why do y'all feel so needing to tell everyone when you see a ps3 unsold? if everyone did the same for the 360, then this forum would be flooded :)

nice picture (are you a photographer), i to saw some ps3's at the store once, they had a few at best buy where i got mine.  i guess they are not selling well, if they were i guess they would be out of stock.:roll:

 

hey lets all go to the store and count how many ps3's they have and take pics, we can turn it into a competition.

Nope, these systems are lying there, easily able to be jacked. But on the other hand this is on a Military base, if you get caught stealing there its such a huge offense so I don't think the store worries about it much.

And the HDDVD drives aren't new, they've been there for a couple months in that same spot. I know the manager, he told me he just put the "New Item" sign on them to try to clear some inventory.  :lol:
