Sony and Nintendo Make Akiba Store Switcheroo

For something like ten years, the first floor of Akihabara retailer Sofmap was PlayStation territory. Not anymore. PS goods, games and hardware have moved to the third floor. What's in its place? You guessed it, Nintendo. Shoppers looking for Wii/DS consoles and games can easily find them on the ground floor. Retailers are a good source of info from the trenches, and this is very telling. That, or the move's to make things more convenient for elderly Nintendo customers. How thoughtful!
