Having a product on a shelf is a form of marketing. It’s why big releases get a full wall at GameStop. They cna keep a box in the back, but the publisher has paid for all of that shelf space, and they’ve paid for it because it makes it look like a big deal to people who are just wandering in looking for a gift, or for their next thing to play between Fifa or Madden releases.
I have no idea why you’re being downvoted; this is literally what those walls full of game boxes were meant for (even back when they actually had shit in 'em).
