Overwatch Selling “Well Beyond Expectations” According to GameStop; Early Launch a “Progressive Move”

Bartel also praised Activision Blizzard’s move to allow physical sales of Overwatch before the actual midnight launch of the game, calling it a “very progressive move.”

During GameStop’s quarterly financial conference call Chief Operating Officer Tony Bartel mentioned that Overwatch has been doing very well sales-wise at the prominent retailer.

This allowed GameStop to have two full days before the servers lit up to actually sell the game.
