Forums - Nintendo - Did Nintendo not ship enough Brawl units

Well, I don't think they did. I bet our predictions will be very high, because everywhere I've went, Brawl is sold out. I don't know how many copies Nintendo is gonna sell, but I know they coulda sold a lot more in my area if Brawl was around. Glad I preordered.

 

Anybody got Brawl around? Any available on amazon? 



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Seems in stock at amazon for the moment. I wonder if its just my area. :P

It is still in stock at Amazon.com and Buy.com (Buy says they are low on stock). Whatever that tells you. I do imagine there will be shortages though.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Well they did seem to have problems at first with Japan's launch (until the very end), so I guess that's the case with the US launch aswell.

>Well, I don't think they did. I bet our predictions will be very high,

you consider 1.2 million very high on Prediction League? I remember a thread about it and people have no problem predicting 2-3 million.

I between the known first shipment is 2 million (someone said so on this forum), and I don't think it will get sold out.

I was just at my Gamespot. I asked and he said they sold 250 copies thus far and the store was literally littered with Brawl. They easily had another 500 copies. I live in Montgomery County, MD.

I think they shipped enough over here.

Wow, I didn't think the predictions would be so low. What are you guys? Cracksmokers?

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I had absolutely no problem walking into a Toys R Us this morning (with no preorder) and leaving with a copy of Brawl. They seemed to have plenty of copies, although they were selling briskly. I'd suggest trying some non-gaming speciality stores, like Walmart and Target.

I stand by my claim that pre-ordering games is completely unnecessary.

 I believe I bet 1.5-1.7 million myself, but strangly, people who had NO PROBLEM claiming it will sell 3 million, were nowhere to be found

 

hmmmm.... can't even back up their claim with VGC $
