most retail stores have shovelware in stock at the counter like redneck jamboree lol. i went to target on wednesday and saw 1 copy of madworld. went back today and saw 3 so thats a good sign. i think retailers didnt want to stock this game like call of duty war at world in the beginning. now u can find waw easily at retail stores.

That's probably the main reason, but it's also in black and white.

wii not hardcore install base...

It's way to violent for the average person's tastes.

GameStop was leading the promotion of this game, though. To see Wal-Mart neglect it is no great flaw, but to see GameStop do the same would be a greater blow to the game.

Because its a M rated game and Wii owners are children and old people.

I wonder if the NPD will show higher sales for this game than VGC, based upon its models and input.

In other words, where the game is selling is probably video game stores rather than toy stores or discount stores. So NPD will peg its sales higher.

Just a thought

If this happens, it will prove my thesis about NPD being biased.

 I suppose then that 1.5 million of seven year old bought Resident evil 4. Or that elementary school from everywhere in Amercia bought 1 millions of Call of Duty to teach children about world war 2.  I also guess that some old people were getting tired of wii bowling and went  for House of the dead 2 and 3...

Haven't you been banned enough already?
