CoDWaW Wii selling better than we think?

Anecdotes are beyond useless, marketing gets consumers to buy games and not retailers, and NPD is a lot more right than you think. Again, stop selectively doubting numbers that don't fit in with what you want to happen. Wait for financial reports if you like, but quit making threads about how this site must be wrong 'cause your local area is sold out of a game that isn't ordering new copies because it didn't sell that well to begin with and there's dozens of other Wii games they'd rather stock instead.

 

 I really dont think that is always the case. If someone said that they went to 5 stores in there area and they lived in a somewhat major urban area and they were all stock with the Wii for several days, that would be a pretty telling anecdote (if they were telling the truth of course)

Seeing a crap load of commericials, and then seeing the game being sold out in my area despite steady (albeit maybe smaller) shipment, and then seeing last weeks number at 25k has nothing to do with me "wishing" a game does well. I bought the PS3 version for petes sake. 25k is too low of a number compared to other numbers for this to be true... like this. There are like over 5,000 gs stores okay if each one ony had 3 fricken copies and they are sold out that is 15k.... Again for example a GS in my mall had 9 (they had about 30 of each hd in the same shipment) copies, not a ton, but enough to make good sales if they sellout which they did... Also, I would think GS would sell less % wise of the Wii version as anyone else, a good portion of the shoppers there have an HD console... Places like TRU, BB, Target, and Walmart are the places where the Wii would preform better.
