Forums - Nintendo - Wii restock invades Halo 3, Xbox 360 at retailer

@http://news.punchjump.com/article.php?id=4881

 

" A restock for Nintendo Co.'s Wii invaded Microsoft Corp.'s Halo 3 and Xbox 360 sales territory this week at retailer Amazon.com.

New sales for Wii blasted the hardware past the Xbox 360 Premium to rank at No. 3 on Thurs. The Xbox 360 held a previous position of No. 6.

All three Halo 3 retail SKUs previously dominated the top three best-sellers at Amazon's Computer & Video Games division. The Wii restock moved the Halo 3 Legendary Edition to No. 4 from a No. 3 rank. The Standard and Limited Edition held at No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.

Microsoft this week announced that Halo 3 generated $170 million at U.S. retail in the first 24 hours of release.

The final chapter in the Halo trilogy was released on Sept. 25.

Wii is the top-selling video game hardware in the nation, moving 403,600 units in the month of Aug. according to NPD Group Inc."

I don't understand this article. What's different about this week? Isn't it normal for the Wii to be regularly restocked and sold out at Amazon?

Whenever I check, I always see the Wii on the top positions of the sales ranking, even though it's usually sold out, so I really don't see anything special about this week.

Yeah, I'm confused too.



OMG, AMAZON.COM?!

THE 360 IS DOOMED!!!

YOU HEAR ME?!!

DOOOOOOMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!



 

 

Hey, don't get all nasty. I posted this because it kinda shows more proof that halo3, while selling like hotcakes covered in strawberries and whipcream, is not going to push 360 passed Wii.
