You know, I wondered why every time I called them up, looking to see if the games I wanted were in yet, why they hadn't started selling preorders. Well, news comes out now, from the company's annual sales conference that Gamestop stores will not have preorders for the Wii or PS3. Is the included quote all there is to the story? With the demand and shortage of PS3 units to be available at launch, is Gamestop really just trying to save itself the hassle of dealing with pre-buyers who get angry when their shipment doesn't come in.

From the article:

The news came about from the company's annual sales conference last week. President of Gamestop, Steve Morgan said, "The great thing is there is a lot of demand. But launch is one day. And really the key to this business is what flows are the launch. We did learn a lesson last year. I think the lession is caution and optimism at the same time."
