| Bodhesatva said: Actually, Saiyar, the press release gives the reason explicitly: ‘Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock’ gives Activision 2 Top 10 All Formats games this week, up from No12 to No9. Sega’s All Formats Top 10 representative is no longer ‘Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games’ which due to lack of stock falls out of the All Formats Top 40 after last week’s No9 placing, and is replaced with ‘The Golden Compass’, up one place to No10.
I am suspicious of this -- usually when people cry "supply constraints!" it ends up being untrue (re: DQS), but this is an official press junket saying so, so perhaps it has merit. We'll see. |
With Wii stuff, the supply constraints aren't a lie
