A bit of cherry picking on my part but from personal experience GameStops don't have mass amounts of traded in Wii Music games which usually is what happens when people are displeased with a new game, but they have huge stacks of games like GTA IV, The Force Unleashed, Halo 3 (even though that's a little less relivent since it's older but still has huge stacks right after release) and even MGS4...

I wonder. Could it be because most of wii music buyers don't shop from stores like gamestop? They don't know that they can sell their used copies.

The spin.  It hurts my head.

No no, it's true! If those stupid casuals only knew about Gamestop, they'd be ditching Wii Music in droves. As it is, all they have is eBay.

Just don't ask me whether eBay folks are looking to ditch Little Big Planet or, heaven forbid, Gears of War 2 more than they are Wii Music, since some folks might not like the answer...

 

 

Interesting idea:

Skipping Brand New from ebay results:

 

Wii Music  -- 118

Call of Duty: World at War Wii -- 110

Little Big Planet -- 141

Gears of War 2: 518

Metal Gear Solid 4: 235

Halo 3: 438

GTA IV: 414 for 360 and 319 for PS3

Super Mario Galaxy: 205

 

Doesn't seem too many people are ditching it on ebay yet.   That said, I didn't do anything to adjust for sales of the games, and wii music hasn't caught up with most of those.
