Forums - Nintendo - Madworld & HOTD Overkill

I asked about how they were selling at EB Games today.

The manager there said, they were selling good, sold out first 2 batches.

Said the prices on them is the big stopper being $10 above usual retail price.

Suikoden DS also is of similar fate, expensive DS game slowing down its sales. Otherwise, it's selling okay.

but everyone said they bombed.....


j/k anecdotal evidence ftl



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Sega also said they were pleased with the sales so far, but since the internet had already decided the game bombed, and the internet is the final verdict, there is no choice but to conclude that the game indeed bombed.

I wonder if the game will get much of a spike when the sales lower...

 

 

 

EDIT: What a paradox! I meant "when the price lowers...."

 

I'm leaving it in there because it might give someone a good laugh.



They retail for $60, the same price for Xbox 360 and PS3 games.
The regular retail price for Wii games are usually $40-$50, usually in the $40 end.

 Not in the US they don't--they're both $50.

I picked up Madworld for 39.99$ at Walmart in Canada. Is the game not selling at that price everywhere here?



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

I got it for $35 on Amazon..... interesting. (It was a special pre-order deal)

I had no idea some places were charging as much as $60 for it. That's crazy!

Exindguy, glad I could help. :P

Yeah, unfortunately a lot of videogame retailers (GAMESTOP comes to mind) like to set rape prices on games.  Thankfully amazon usually caters to cheap bastards like me



I bought both in the buy 2 get 1 free last week at Target. Im sure the games will do ok but not sequel great.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
