Okay so I live in Ft Wayne Indiana, population 250-300k. So I do not live in the boon docks or what not.
Ok so I went to TRU just to look around (They have the Buy 1 get 2nd 20 off), and was really shocked. First The 360 and PS3 section for SW are tiny. They are 7 games across and about 8 shelves high... really small. The Wii section was rather large about 2x the PS360 combined. The DS section at my tru is just monster. It is almost as big all other sw sections combined. Ok, so. The place was packed, and I was browsing through the Wii section, and low and behold I see 3 empty spots for Wiimusic... I was very suprised to say the least I then went to the counter to ask if they had any (they keep extra stock in glass shelves behind the register) and they said they out. Ok, So I am think well TRU is THE most casual store... So I head over to sears.... they were out also(they usually have no more than 8 games of one kind in stock at once as is)... So I head into the mall and go to GS. About 4 days ago I remembered seeing like 6 Wiimusic cases on display now there was only 1... I tried to see if I could spot any in the glass... but I saw none.
I am in disbelief right now... Did nintendo do a major WiiMusic marketing campaign or something? This is really weird.
