Hang on, so what happeend to that article where game said all their preorders are sold out?

The one that said 500,000 preorders and 1.2million bits of software sold?

Did they over estimate? did people cancel their orders? or are they yet to collect them? I Know in AUS they will keep your console for 48hours if you only make a deposit, so you have to collect it or you loose your money and console

Yes... this one confuses me as well. Gamestop did claim to have sold out of its 500,000 preorders.... But surely there were other vendors? wuthappen

So what is the market share of GameStop during bf week? Surely not over 50%, so in effect they sold less than 200'000 WiiUs which is a far cry from "500'000 sold"
