EB Games Gamestop PS3 Pre-Order results
Filed Under Video Games
On a rumor and according to GWN EB and Gamestop would allow a pre-order flurry on Tuesday 10/10/06. Not sure how much truth there was to this rumor The Channel Checkers asked the question. We called 20 EB, 20 Gamestop, and 10 Bestbuy stores for a total of 50 retailers that will carry the PS3.
Here’s what we found:
- Bestbuy was not taking pre-orders.
- 72% of EB/Gamestop stores would take our name, considering that each store could sell 8 pre-orders not bad.
- Average number of names on the list by the time we called; 7.3
The interesting question was “if we can’t put our name on the list or you are not taking pre-orders, would you recommend waiting for the PS3 or another platform”
25% said they would recommend the Wii and 6% recommended the Xbox 360, 69% said to wait for the PS3.
