Why are major releases always released on Tuesdays?

[Dank Hill]

Instead of Thursday or Fridays like movies? Don't they know that people have shyt to do during the week

Used to be because you were able to get a full week of sales figures on shelves + ensuring that you are able to quickly replenish over the weekend if able/needed to for the next tuesday to hit.

Not as important for media anymore, but old habits are hard to break. You have to keep in mind that the entire retail industry has conformed to this standard and deliveries all across the country have been working with this model for decades already.

Pretty much just to see if it sells well enough to send out new shipments.

shyt is annoying AF. You wait all this time for a new game only to be released at the beginning of the work week so you only get like 30min in on your first play. They need to change that model lol
