Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Walmart Canada hates the Wii, too



Around the Network

I've seen this occasionally in flyers for places like Best Buy where they will just randomly leave out a console. Rarely happens, but I've seen PS3 missing a few times.

Now London Drugs, they hate the Wii. The one by my place has big PS3/360/PSP sections, but don't carry any Nintendo items.



It's probably because there wii stocks of software are decimated from Christmas and this is what they are trying to clear out.





Canada is Sony bias.



Pixel Art can be fun.

It happens all the time with the PS3 too.

And Lost for 19,99$ is a steal!!! Buy it people!

My local London Drugs doesn't hate the Wii. They have a few bowling games in a bargain bin, and two copies of EA Sports Active tucked into a corner next to a box of white plastic widgets.

There not biased against. They just want to sell Sony and MS stuff. Under there impression Wii stuff sells itself so why should they bother. Though some games could use it regardless even on the Wii.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

I always see Futureshop Flyers and sometimes Bestbuy fylers excluding the PS3 system, while they have a full page for 360 and Wii each. It happens.

But I'm sure Walmart is just out of Wii stock this week, cause they would be stupid not to advertise the Wii.



From my local Walmarts (in Canada) it's a matter of Wii game supplies being low. Christmas was very good to Nintendo. Even the crap $20 games section was almost totally cleared out. Only Day of Discovery and Imagine Babies left.

Is that the kind of music that they listen to in Canada? Dreadful.
