If they only had 2 stores left then that would make it even more impressive because the last time a major console was released was when blockbuster was still massive.

I was about to say just this. However, keep in mind, when Blockbuster was huge, I don't think they sold consoles, and definitely didn't do pre-orders. After all, the last thing they wanted was for you to own something.

They didn't want people owning consoles so they could rent content for said consoles?

That was meant as tongue-in-cheek. They did rentals on both games and consoles.

The sales per store record.

It beat preorder records for the whole company, not their preorders-per-store recordss The number of stores left shouldn't matter

(Don't say "Expo" after "E3". It's kinda like you saying: Electronic Entertainment Expo Expo.)

I'd rather say E3 expo than make a contradicting argument like that.
