SaviorX said: I was checking all over the web about it yesterday, and unless I was reading it wrong, The Conduit was completely sold out....in my state. I checked Gamestop.com for availability according to my zip code and there were no new copies available. There are today. Walmart.com didn't sell anything according to what I read yesterday of The Conduit. No reader ratings or reviews. However, the ship date was 6/29 over there, so that may be why. Best Buy had TC on back order. I don't know if that is selling out or a delayed order. KB Toys is out of business....so I searched that for nothing lol I'll go with underestimation of demand. Same thing as the Wii version of Call of Duty: World ay War

Most GameStops just got it yesterday, and each store's inventory doesn't update to the GS website until the end of the night. So today would be the first day it showed as available at locations online. So no sell out. But I do think about 80-100k first week sales are possible.


Good explanation. Because I entered several different zip codes from diferent states to make sure and got the exact same results and I knew something was seriously off.

 

As long as the combined 1st week sales (NA/EU) are somewhere around 100k, I'll be happy. Wii games that reach somewhere near that point 1st week often thrive on the marketplace. NA will probably have 65k first week or something.

Odds are, Sunday night.

 

The week ending the 27 won't be here until maybe July 7th, so another 10 days.

Walmart.com just restocked the conduit as so has Newegg.com( after selling out) basically meaning more copies sold to retailers.

Sweet. This game seems to be doing well, I hope it makes the upper end of TheSource's guess for first week, or more.

Just came back from best buy

stock: 25+ Wii's
25+ PS3's
25+ 360's

PS2.. not many Im not seeing too much push from retailers when it comes to the ps2..

I saw a man buy Wii plus wii play(bundled im guessing) and wii fit, and like 4 Wii motes, mario kart wii, atleast $1000 of wii stuff..

PSP nothing was selling

A guy bought a 160gb PS3 uncharted bundle

Two teens looking at 360 arcade, and an old man looking into buying it

Other than that nothing, I cant buy anything because I dont have $$$, I want monster hunter and rockband psp though =/
