well yeah. The point is that the circular is extremely visible. Hell, when i was a kid it was beautiful day when the TRU catalog came in the mail. I pretty much picked all my christmas toys from it.

i can remember getting the SEARS catalog and pouting over the toys in that for weeks
 
My brother and I put a sticker on every toy we wanted on those catalogs. Ahhh good times. We got like 3 out of 15 toys though.

In store TRU might not sell a lot of GAMES, but they move a ton of CONSOLES.
 
Fabulous 15 and the pic only shows 10....maybe PS4 is on the bottom row not being shown? I mean surely for TRU BOTH consoles will be in their Top 15 hot toys this holiday...more likely #1 and #2 hot toys, though that Doc McStuffin's check-up center looks like some really pervy fun. :txbrolleyes:

I did exactly the same thing. I still remember the year that I picked out the N64 from a Toys R Us catalog. Good year.. good year.
 
TRU is only a major player during the holidays. So this is good for Microsoft.
 
I hate when I have to point out obvious stuff because it feels like I'm being condescending, but read the post in context.

I missed that 7ds was responding to someone else - I thought it was your original post. The context was:

My bad, edited. Apparently I can't read.

Either way I was simply pointing out that it was on the page. I didn't say it was part of the 15, so not sure why you would assume I was.
 
PS4 is listed. But you have to go to the Fabulous 150 and start from the bottom. ;)

I wonder if Sony pissed someone off over @TRU for them to put their major console at the very bottom, next to my little brony. It just seems a little intentional.
 
On the page or not, I think having the Xbox One in the "Fab 15" and the PS4 not, is a big advantage for Microsoft. Must have had to dig pretty deep in ol' Bill's wallet to set that one up.
