| Soundwave said: Well I mean we have NPD numbers and we know the Wii U is not selling great, so it's not like it's some huge secret or point of debate. The system isn't doing well. There probably are more than a few stores that look like this as a result, whereas others don't. |
Yeah. It just looks to me like many tiles are not being restocked. MK8 is popular but it's sold out in 60% of stores in SF area... and other titles are even harder to come by. It's not just a store here or there, you can check the availability online. Try to find Pikmin 3 in New York - not a single BB seems to have it. It's even unavailable at GameStop online.
Possibly the monthly sales of some of these games are now so low that it no longer makes sense to stock every store, but if people can't see games in stores, even top Nintendo titles, then it's going to work against the Wii U looking like the console with "gaemz", and certainly it doesn't help these titles have legs.
