That... isn't how stores stock boxes or consoles.

That's an Amazon warehouse.


See above. I'd love to see a store that stacks PS5 boxes (or any console) on their back.

It's also big cope energy to get the absolute maximum number possible. The PS5 box smallest measurement is 6.94in which is 18,800 maximum PS5's.

I mean it's a PR statement from a retailer, obviously they'll go for the maximum number possible

KaBuM! vende o equivalente a 10 torres Eiffel de PS5 durante a Black Friday 2023 - PSX Brasil

O KaBuM! conseguiu a sua maior Black Friday da sua história em 2023. Entre 23 e 26 de novembro, a empresa bateu recorde de vendas. Com descontos de até 80% em

Em 2023, o KaBuM! destinou ainda mais 3 000 m² para o estoque e gestão dos produtos, totalizando 26 000 m² – equivalente a mais de três campos de futebol. Além disso, o CD conta com um moderno sistema de automação, com um aumento de 50% na capacidade de processamento em relação ao ano passado.

And that's assuming KaBuM! used that area for nothing but PS5. The number isn't 30K.

Okay? I don't know if I'm getting the point here.

Edit: if chatgpt is trying to calculate using square meters and cubic metres at the same time, that's probably wrong

Yes they added that extra space to deal with demand.
That doesn't mean a big conpany like KaBuM in such a massive country like Brasil, is the only storage they have.

I'm sure confuse about what point you trying to make.

You think that is the only storage that big chain has?

Just pointing out that if you divide square feet by cubic feet, you make a mathematian cry somewhere in the world, which is just sad

First thing, learn maths. Second thing, learn not to mix units. Each PS5 box is 0.036378m³, and assuming this 26,000m² of additional storage space is all standard 10m tall logistics depots (as usual here in Brazil), that would be a volume for 7,147,176 boxes.

Maybe it would be easier for you if you used the simpler, more elegant metric system.

Chatbots are unreliable for anything, and specially unreliable for math

That being said the unsourced estimates are pretty much meaningless as depending how you interpret the statement the numbers vary wildly 😅 might be that or like 4x smaller than that

??? You divided floorspace (square feet) with box volume (cubic feet).

It's 0.036378m³ (43cm * 47cm * 18cm) for box volume into 260,000m³ of warehouse volume (26,000m2 floor area * 10m height) assuming a 10m ceiling height, coming out to ~7.147 million units.

Not gonna lie, the poster that brought up Chat GPT calcs to try and prove it wrong shows why a base knowledge is needed in math/writing/etc when using these AI tools. That way you can check your work because now math whizs are proving you wrong and you just admitted that you'd fail a math exam even while cheating

This thread really is delivering, LMAO.

On-topic: That's a shit ton of PS5s considering Brazil's market and Kabum's size. The fact you could get a PS5 for less than a Series S is crazy, I have no idea what Microsoft is doing here. They have the perfect product for emerging markets and Brazil is one of the few countries outside of US/UK/Canada where Xbox has any brand power and... they decide to do that. Meanwhile, Sony aggressively markets Spider-Man 2 and has great BF sales and Nintendo finally returns to the country with localized games and very good hardware prices.
