Sony Incentivizes Gamestop Managers to Push PS3s

This article is over 17 years old and may contain outdated information

Gamestop managers whose stores outperform other district branches in PS3 console sales will be handsomely rewarded thanks to a Sony-sponsored “contest.”

Gamersreports.com claimed in a news item today that Sony is dangling incentives in front of Gamestop managers whose stores sell the most PlayStation 3 units.

In what is apparently a Gamestop memo, managers are advised that stores with the highest average PS3 sales in a given district will win 20,000 points redeemable at the company’s GamestopRewardstop.com website. One overall winner will be showered with an additional 10,000 points.

It appears Gamestop customers would be well-advised to do their research on console choices before entering the store, and to not necessarily rely on employee advice.
