I noticed similar things at my local Best Buy, but it wasn't nearly as empty. I just know they must have gotten burned by a lot of those "mature" launch window titles. They bought in for a lot copies of ACIII/ ZombiU/ Arkham City, etc and they're still sitting on them from 2012. That's a lot of inventory to sit on. My Best Buy has multiple shelves six/seven deep of copies of all those titles. If you haven't noticed, a lot of other retailers are being really selective nowadays with what games to even carry, let alone how many copies to buy in the initial shipment. My WalMart only got in 4 copies of Hyrule Warriors for launch week.
And I'm not just talking about Nintendo games, obviously. But Wii U third-party launch window titles are a good example of a lot of people betting on the wrong horse.

The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
