dazzybee Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 starting to think I will have to download this, I have been to Game, Tesco, HMV, Argos and nobody has this game,it's like it does not exist. It's disgusting. What is happening? It's like games don't want to be sold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Wii U demand isn't exactly booming, sales will be even weaker - retailers probably just don't even want to take the risk. Go online/ShopTo, get it within a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clownferret Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 really want it right now, but I can't bring myself to pay £45 for the download, does anybody know an actual shop that is selling this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo are screwed either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 The point is that they probably can't entice sales even if they DO stock the games. Brick and mortar's suffering to online enough as it is, but a combination of the wii u's lacklustre sales and Nintendo's approach probably don't help. The brick and mortar's probably aren't seeing many hardware, nor software, sales and so won't want to add the cost of buying/stocking if they don't feel it'll sell. It's a shame, but that's how it is. Personally I DO think this game will sell well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know an actual shop that is selling this game/ Feeling you on this. They should release DD titles at £30-35 to RRP £40 imo, something to incentivise actually going DD over retail. Of course, I don't know the margins and whatnot, but I'd think a retail copy with production and everything must amount to at least a few quid over DD.

Dcubed Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 B&M is completely useless at this point. You pretty much have to buy online if you want a game within the first week these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrea987 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Got it yesterday, it's an awesome game, it deserves to sell well, if you can order it online you'll save few quids. Got mine from the hut for £34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is they don't want to upset the retailers. It's the same for Sony and MS. They need the retailers to sell their products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clownferret Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 as soon as i can track down a copy of this elusive little bugger I will be joining you all. As much as I love MK I am looking forward to a racer that doesn't stick a blue shell up your backside every time you show some driving ability.

Rummy Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) The problem is they don't want to upset the retailers. It's the same for Sony and MS. They need the retailers to sell their products. True, but right now...are they doing anything to NOT upset them? Plus there's still the edge, of phsyical vs digital; personally I'd pay up to five pound more generally just because I'm used to physical copies, I'd opt for physical most of the time methinks. If the retailers didn't have issues, I don't see why it isn't in B&M stores. It's a desperately needed game in a drought for some, the only reason I haven't got it yet is because I won't play for a few weeks.
