I work at Toys R Us and was moved to R zone a couple weeks ago..

I've sold 1 360 and zero PS3s the entire time I've worked in R Zone

Every few minutes or so someone will ask for a Wii.. I'll sell Hanna Mantana, Bratz, High School Musical, more than any 360 and PS3 combined..

Only DS and Wii games sell at toys r us..

just thought I'd let you guys know..

Most 12+ kids think the Wii is too kiddy.

LOL.. You must camp out at Toys R Us then cause that's the only way you'll see a single PS3 sold.

It just depends on location. I've been working there for 6 months now (in R-Zone since 2nd week), and whileI will sell a crapload of HSM-Sing It's, Carnival Games, and DS's, our store actually moves quite a few consoles.360 sales outnumbered the PS3 sales by about 4 to 1 until the 40GB dropped, now it's about 1.5 to 1 in favor of 360. Parents are buying them all, and they have been, give it time, you'll see.

LOLI was just thinking this.

I was in best buy today perusing the games section and i see this 40 something year old man come up to a sales associate on the floor, walk him over to the wii display, and say "I wanted to buy one ofthese... Wii's". Just like that, lol. The clerk said "...uh, we might be sold out here, lemme check..." and i missed the rest of it because the rock band demo was too loud and i was walking away.

Seriously tho, you can't not sell the wii, no matter what store you work in. If that Amazon deal goes thru and i get offered it I'll buy one for 80 bucks... for sure.

It's nearing Christmas and parents are buying these games specifically for their kids. So of course they are gonna get kid games. What is even better is the second the parents get Wii Sports in their hands, they too are gonna fall for the Wii.

Hmmmm.... if that's the way it is at one R Zone, that must be the case everywhere. Maybe Bill Gates bought the rest of the 12 million 360s in the world.

I've been working there for almost a month.. and It's been all Wii and DS..

I work 30+ hours a week all in R Zone and have sold 1 360 and 0 PS3s.. Our store is one of the most popular stores too.

Ah... Parents shop at Toys R Us for their lil kids. Parents bought the PS2 for thier children. Sooner or later the PS3 will have the same appeal. XBOX 360 isn't as friendly as the Wii and Playstation name are.

I'm a parent, and I have all 3 consoles. The moral of the story is, just because they don't look like they're in their 40's and drive minivans doesn't mean they're not parents.

No disrespect TC, but who the F goes to Toys R Us to buy a console?

That's the last place I would have thought, behind gamestop/eb best buy, wal mart, target, k mart, game crazy, lord I forgot Toys r Us existed when I turned 10

Honestly, don't do that unless you think it's going to be helpful. Everytime I walk into any game store I prepare myself for the coming onslaught of fanboy oriented advice of why I should get a 360. I know Toys R Us isn't like EB but most people just think you're a loser when you give your opinion. Tell them what it has to offer based on facts.

Yes, becuase mostly kids buy the Wii. So? It's common knowledge the Wii is very kid friendly, HOWEVER! You can be older and enjoy it too, I don't watch porno anymore, that doesn't make me a child, it means I don't have to use the amount of explicit content I endorse to prove my maturity.

Maybe because they are the only people clueless enough to pay Toys R Us prices? I'm not bashing the Wii. I have a Wii and love it...and I'm much older than any kid and I don't (yet) have any kids of my own. But the Toys R Us in my city is the last place I would go for videogames. Poor selection, poor prices, poor service.

It's a shame to because it USED to be my #1 place to go. But yeah, people who know anything about gaming will probably go elsewhere.
