Forums - Sony - GAME won't stock Ubisoft Vita launch games: Lumines, Michael Jackson, Rayman: Origins, Asphalt Injection and Dungeon Hunter Alliance get the chop

We have Game in Australia too, but they've been loosing market share to the Australian version of Gamestop, EBgames. Too overpriced and not enough variety.

I'm imagining that was a business call because a majority of those games are on other platforms for a significantly cheaper price. So they probably felt it would be a waste of money to sell them at the regular price.


 Nah Ubisoft will have refused to sell the games to GAME. Basically GAME have been refused credit insurance which means game companies have no cover for if GAME go into administation / liquidation, and they'd lose all their stock / money. GAME is in a bad way financially and this will just be the start of a trend - they've already got major stock issues on a number of games.

 Could be a very interesting year for the UK Games retail.
