it shouldn't matter if the retailers get pissed about hardware sales giving mediocre returns.

Man, I hope you don't run your own business because basic comprehension of how things work seems to escape you.

You have to have the hardware in peoples living rooms before you can even think about the games. You know...the whole putting the cart before the horse thing?

Neither Sony or MS have ways to distribute such quantities of consoles to consumers that having it in multiple retail outlets does and I doubt they want to. They are hardware and software manufacturers. Not retailers.

Also, without it on the shelves at say a local Walmart there is no telling how many impulse buys they would miss out on.

Its not like Sony or Microsoft make profit off console sales either BTW. All their systems sold at a loss from the get go. Only Nintendo typically makes profit off each console sale and they deviated from that business model with the WiiU.

That has nothing to do with anything here.
