No people are stupid, people are desperate - Tesco will sell out of the new console or game first as they are lower priced but rather than wait for Tesco to restock (if its nintendo that could be a while) they will buy elsewhere. Look at Wii Fit - £100+ people are charging now and selling.

Have to remember as well that GAME are not a Billion Pound company and dont sell other things to compensate. Do you know how much Tesco lose on some of their products. The Gamestation staff will tell you what their shop is doing one shop is not the whole company.
