Are you prepared to be blown away? Have your mind flipped inside-out?
Experience a revelation to end all revelations? Tough luck, bubs.
During an earnings call yesterday, GameStop president Tony Bartel was
cited as saying that both Microsoft's Kinect and Sony's PlayStation
Move would both be difficult to find this holiday season, noting that
the Kinect would be "a hot item through the holiday season and the key
opportunity will be just to continue to keep them in stock." He also
stated that the Move would be "in short supply," and even went so far
as to predict that consumers would be "following the UPS truck to our
stores to pick up that product as soon as they can find it."
Naturally, GameStop's in-stock guarantee won't apply to the two things
it actually should (read: Kinect and Move), and Tony stopped short of
providing hard evidence that this so-called shortage would in fact
occur. But hey, no one ever said that drumming up demand for a product
your store hawks was a bad business move, you know? And on the real,
we're guessing that Santa will actually have the hots for these
things, and if you're considering one, it's always wise to be
proactive. Or spend countless nights attempting to snipe Johnny Doe on
eBay -- your call.
