Forums - Sales - For Those Who Were Worried About UC's sales.... 12/22 Retail Observations

RE:UC has been sold out in some but not all gaming stores I've been to while Christmas shopping.

Anecdotal evidence is worth nowt but the bandwidth used in your post.

I do have to much time on my hands... I spent maybe 45 minutes of the 4 hours I went shopping looking a VG's...

I can't believe I am being told it would be more worthwhile for me to sit on my ass and play a video games than to go shopping with my little bro, looking VG sections while I am out...

I think you are pissed because you don't like what I found..



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

I wish I could post the whole pics, about 30% gets cut off

I don't see how this is any different that Bod's thread that was ended. We all realize this is only one place, but it's still interesting to see how things are doing. If you don't care about this kind of thing, just don't post. There's no reason to explain why you don't like it and insult the thread starter while you're at it. It was interesting, and that is more than enough reason to make a post like this.

How is he suppose to play games without going to the store to buy them? I'm sure while he's there he might take notice of how they're stocked at the store. It seems like that should be of interest to anyone on a video game sales site. It's not like he ever claimed that this is as accurate as the sales charts.

Why can't people just chill out?

glad some people found it worth while,

it actually took me almost as much time to type this thing up than I spent looking at the games sections-

I have a wicked good memory(wrote the whole thing from memory) I can walk into a VG section and give it a good look over and remember what I saw.

ne ways do the pictures back up what I was saying

(note the pics are about 50% of the Wii and 360 section) I will do the whole thing on CMas eve(it should be most wiped out then)

I just wanted to look things over today since it was the cap of a HUGE sales week.

To be honest most places I went to last week(havent gone to any stores since last Thursday) seemed to have a good amount of everything(software/hardware) but Wii's(and believe it or not 360 Premiums). I guess the week before Christmas is just a nightmare for shoppers.

Funny enough, I found a new 60 gig PS3 ($400) the other day. I really, really want to buy it because of the full BC, but I dont really want a PS3(except for warhawk) and I want to pay off all my credit card debt.

 Poor Batallion Wars 2 there was still plenty of stock for that game clearly.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

tokilamockingbird, I appreciate your research.

It's always nice to get a documentable in-the-field view of how the market goes.

Anecdotes of this nature are important no matter who's side is favored. All of it counts.

besides it is safe to assume that if this is happening where I live similiar things are happening other places.

The PS3 was sold out at my local gamestop.  According to your logic, the PS3 is selling out everywhere right?  I'm not saying the game is bad, but having played it, it was very disappointing, and I'd not think that people would want to buy the game just for the zapper.  Why not buy Link's Crossbow training instead?
