Pre-order Zelda: Breath of the Wild at GameStop, get a poster
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 21 Comments
GameStop is offering a pre-order bonus for Zelda: Breath of the Wild. If you reserve the game, you’ll be able to receive an exclusive poster.
The offer works for both versions – Switch and Wii U. Additionally, you can pre-order the game either in-store online. Those going with the latter option will need to print their order confirmation page and bring it to their local store. GameStop advises calling your local store ahead of time to ensure that the poster is available.
Google Trends shows much bigger pre-order interest in Switch than Wii U
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 30 Comments
Update: For what it’s worth, here’s a look at what things look like when you throw PS4 and Xbox One into the mix:
Original: Data collected by Google Trends indicates that consumers have a much bigger interest in Switch compared to its predecessor, the Wii U. The phrase “pre order Nintendo Switch” is seeing roughly five times the number of searches as “pre order Wii U” prior to launch. The latter phrase only experienced about 20 percent of the number of searches that the former one has had. Also, the term “Wii U” only had had more searches than the current data for “Nintendo Switch” during the week of its launch.
It’s worth noting that “pre order Wii” earned roughly 47 percent of what Switch is receiving now. However, we should point out that things were much different in 2006, as online shopping / pre-ordering wasn’t nearly as prominent as it is now.
