A Best Buy mole just dropped some interesting tidbits about the upcoming PS3 and the Wii launches. The mole reports that there are over 900 Wii units on order for his/her/its district of 10 stores. What's more our insider adds his/her/its store is getting a little over a hundred:
They will be in stock on launch day. No October 29 crap like that first image you guys posted a little while ago. There are 748 stores in the US. If you average 102 units per store, there will be around 76,296. If the 1 million is an appropriate launch amount, that means as a company, we'll be getting 7.6% of launch units. That doesn't seem like much, but considering we got the majority of 360 launch units (my store got almost 80 combined), and there's an ass load of other video game stores abound, that's high up there.
Continuing, the mole says that Twilight Princess is listed with a November 13th street date, a full 5 days before the console hits. Our insider reports a little over 90 copies will hit his/her/its store.
But, here's the whooper:
Finally, onto the PS3. I searched for the 20GB and 60GB models in the system, and what I found startles me. We have yet to order any systems from Sony. I checked district. Again, nothing. Apparently, the 400,000 Sony promised for the States isn't too stable for Best Buy to get their hands in.
