I vote for small shipment, I heard it was sell out even in Amazon.

At my store we can't keep the Ghostbuster's game in stock. The Xbox/PS3 versions all sold out the first day and we're just now starting to see a slow down. The Wii and DS version have been doing pretty good, but I have as of yet not seen their spot on the shelf empty. The PC version... well we got three in the first day and we still have two left.

UFC Undisputed has been another big one. We still can't keep the 360 version in stock and we're just barely able to hold on to any PS3 copies.

Finally, we still seem to move a ton of the Babiez and Imagine games. Not any one in particular, just those games as a whole.



CIHYFS?

Ghostbuster seems like its a pretty big hit worldwide actually.

Any info for the conduit?

 

And TheSource, what would your guess be on first day sales, not anything official but just your opinion by what you have seen.

I had an early shift Tuesday and most of our new games don't get set until later in the day. That and I had Wednesday off so I haven't really gotten the chance to see how it's doing. :D

I'll check today though and see what kind of stock we have left.

I'm finally about to get through my backlog of games, so I've been shopping for some titles lately. Can't help but notice that Conduit is selling out at Walmart.com, Bestbuy.com, and in the top sellers on Gamestop and Eb Games.

Is this a small shipment thing or is the game a huge hit somehow?

My guess is most stores underestimated demand rather than its a huge hit but its going to be interesting finding out.


I was checking all over the web about it yesterday, and unless I was reading it wrong, The Conduit was completely sold out....in my state. I checked Gamestop.com for availability according to my zip code and there were no new copies available. There are today. Walmart.com didn't sell anything according to what I read yesterday of The Conduit. No reader ratings or reviews. However, the ship date was 6/29 over there, so that may be why. Best Buy had TC on back order. I don't know if that is selling out or a delayed order. KB Toys is out of business....so I searched that for nothing lol I'll go with underestimation of demand. Same thing as the Wii version of Call of Duty: World ay War

Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

We don't have any hard info on the week ending June 27 yet but it I would guess it did over 50k week one. Somewhere between 70,000 and 120,000 would be my guess. It probably won't sneak into the NPD top ten for the month of June though given how much software has released this month so I'm sure we'll hear alot about how it bombed even though its likely to do a very respectable total.

No Ghostbusters of any versions in the BB by me
inFAMOUS sold out as well
Prototypoe down to a couple copies for each platform
The Conduit was also sold out

There are tons of every console, about 30-40 for each, except the handhelds, only 5-10 for each.



though anecdotal, one of the employees at a local gamespot (I seem to be lucky to have a gamestop not filled with pinheaded employees, this guy actually set aside a fatal frame 3 for me knowing that I liked the series when a copy came in) said that the conduit was selling very well,

Most GameStops just got it yesterday, and each store's inventory doesn't update to the GS website until the end of the night. So today would be the first day it showed as available at locations online. So no sell out. But I do think about 80-100k first week sales are possible.



BAM! There it is!
