gj15987 Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 I'm still not entirely sure what they would have been told. I might go down to my local GAME and ask if they know stock allocation to each store yet. I'd assume that GAME wont just give set numbers to each store. They should look at pre orders and allocate enough to each store to fulfil those with a few extra.
Nintenchris Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 The thing is... the event took place yesterday afternoon... in a brewery, and even if they wasnt drunk i doubt that they will have things sorted right away. Above all that tho, we are not completely sure what they have been told anyway.. we can only make assumptions.
Nintendork Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 the alcohol was to make raving rabbids and monkey ball more fun.. not so they don't remember what they were told in some kind of James Bond movie. they got the game managers pissed up last time put them in a room with 16 360s and 16 HD tvs each playing Gears of War. this event is more pleasure than business.. it's Nintendo saying "sell our console.. it's going to be huge, and you can take a 5.0% profit margin for every console you sell" Gives them experience with the console and means they can talk about it to potential customers on launch day about how much fun it is.
BlueStar Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Monkey Ball and beer is an excellent combination.
Nintenchris Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Monkey Ball and beer is an excellent combination. I think we can all vouch for that from previous Monkey ball games!

Retro_Link Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Having already pre-ordered, I went into GAME the other day just to see if there was any more Wii info around. They had a sign up over the counter saying something like; 'Pre-order to guarantee you're Wii for Christmas: 6 Left!!' That was a few days ago, so chances are they've sold out of all their initial stock by now (and that could even include a 2nd stock I guess)!
gj15987 Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Have you been to Game yet today Sadly no, i was too lazy. I may phone them up and just ask what my chances are and when they will be contacting me about games n stuff.
Charlie Posted October 20, 2006 Author Posted October 20, 2006 I'm going to ask GameStation tomorrow if they know how many they're getting...
Kurtle Squad Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Monkey Ball and beer is an excellent combination. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show is a lot better after a few drinks too
mike-zim Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 i might go to game and ask how many they are getting.
