Support NeoGAF

[Speevy]

I was just at Gamestop and I heard some talking between employees. While I couldn't exactly make out what they were saying, it definitely involved the lack of space in the store. While it may or may not have had anything to do with the PSP, one of them asked the other one about downsizing the already small (compared to the total library size) GBA section. My question is why they don't trim the N-Gage section, or even the PS2. If it has to do with the PSP, wouldn't the best home for Sony's portable be alongside its console?

Anyway, has anyone else heard this sort of talk from employees? (or if you are an employee, what are they saying?)

Maybe GBA is just doing poorly there? If units don't move there, its best they use that shelf space for some activity.

No lie; I once heard two GameStop employees talk about their cocks while I was browsing the store, I got the fuck out of there.

I had to leave anyways but damnit they weren't even being quiet about it and there was a family there for crissakes!

EDIT: GBA sales are just going downhill probably and the DS/PSP are the new hot products in town. I'm pretty sure N-Gage is probably screwed for space as it is and Nokia is probably paying the big bucks to keep it there. Not suprising.

I can't imagine the N-Gage outselling the GBA. They should completely take down the N-Gage section. It's a waste of shelf space. It's really up to each store where they want to put the PSP displays. Best option though is somewhere in the front. That's usually new releases, coming soon, and PS2 games.
