I've been into two Target stores and saw in both a great deal of empty cases where video games were at. Does anyone know if something is going on with that? I'm wondering if digital is finally taking hold?(I don't celebrate this! :) )

The video game section at Target has been declining here for years. It looks like what you described but it’s been that way for a couple years here.

I didn't see it a month ago in KC, but it's only a matter of time. I'd be all for it if it meant a discount, but sadly physical can usually be had cheaper than digital more often than not. Vouchers is decent with TotK being $70 (welcome to standard Switch 2 pricing, but honestly it's overdue).

Last time I visited my Target the video game section seemed normal. Perhaps I'll need to stop in to see.

Try going to Meijer. It's like a game graveyard there, sadly. And what's sadder is that GameStop doesn't seize on this opportunity to really showcase the non-best sellers on shelves. Instead it's become a place of nothing but meaningless preorders, clearance, and POPs.

I always thought Meijer was a grocery store. Never been to one though...
Basically like a Walmart Supercenter.
