I'm willing to wait for 2 months and see how it will fair.

I'll certainly sleep better at night knowing that

 Z&W - 3 (count them 3) of my work mates came round to my house a few weeks ago and we sat and played Zak and Wiki's first few levels when I first played the game, we played through start of game together, 2 of them are Wii owners and they went away wanting to buy the game, we got paid on Friday 18th Jan and both have been looking for it (I have also been looking for a shop with copies in for them) and it's just really hard to find.

 That alone sounds like a good sign and you think it's selling out but I asked Game in Camden the other day he said they may get 2 copies a week and they'll go straight away.

@ claude

Not buying that. In America, I walk into any shop and find copies of NMH. Sure Ubi may have underestimated it, but it isn't hard at all to find a copy. The Wii is sold out. They are hard to find, and I can't say that of NMH.

Anyways, Nintendo has been having great weeks. Its a standard now. If the Wii and DS aren't first or second, then it should be a huge dissapointment.

krona, thats the Swedish currency

hmm, they list the price of the game instead of number of copies sold on a "sales chart"?

Interesting, Red Steel was so deeply discounted.

CoD3 is a pretty good deal too

I picked COD3 up for £8.99 from local Game Store about a fortnight before COD4 got released - wanted to see if I liked the game before commiting to getting the 4th.Problem is got COD4, Assasins Creed and Mass Effect and never even got £8.99's worth from it - hardly been touched yet.  My boss from work just won a 360 but has no games - told him he could buy it £20.00 as he'll probably never set foot in a game shop.

It's from the webshop, so they want you to buy it. I kept the price in because I thought it gave more interesting information. Some games are heavily discounted there, I don't know if it's true everywhere though.

And 1 GBP is around 12,70 SEK (swedish krona) and 1 USD is 6,45 SEK if I got the math right.

Edit: They have some really crazy prices when they are clearing stock. Like this:

(hope it works...you can get a blue PS2 cover for $1.50!)
