Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Breaking News: Duct tape sales rank #995

Rubang B on 20 December 2007

Hahahaha. Can somebody invent the technology that would allow me to marry a comment thread in an online forum?



Also, do we know where duct tape was last week and/or last month? I'd like to know how closely its recent sales trends have been mirroring GameCube and Wii sales trends. They might be a little off, depending on how long it takes after they're duct taped together for the magic to happen.

Recent New Favorites: Grasshopper, Atlus. (R.I.P. Clover.)

remember that it is ranked lower because a whole roll isn't needed for each wii.. once the job is complete, the rest of the ducttape is auctioned off on ebay for twice the price

twice-ish the price....

Oh no! A duct tape shortage has reduced sales! Now Gamecubes will go to waste!

While we have to wait for NPD (Nintendo Purchasing of Ducttape) for the definitive December results, I think the VG Chartz is over estimating how much ducttape is being used.  Sure originally, that much ducttape was used to tape the two Gamecubes together, but after a year, now 65ns ducttape is being used, allowing for much less useage now.



Torturing the numbers.  Hear them scream.

so a wii is now $7.99 + $49.99 + $49.99 = $107.97
nice

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

This is just anecdotal evidence, but, there was a line this morning at my local hardware store. They were handing out tickets for duct tape! Only one roll per customer. There was one excited lady calling up her friend and saying "They have duct tape! Come down here quick!"
