The day one allocation we got was done and dusted pretty damn quickly, but I didn't realise it was going to be THIS big! Eighth biggest opening weekend of all time!

God knows what the Smash Brothers launch will be like.

Mario Kart is bigger than Smash Brothers in my view. Hats off to Nintendo, but it was always going to be this way.

Wasn't Melee the biggest selling Gamecube game?

Or is that worldwide?

We too sold our allocation quickly, but given how insultingly low it was this was no surprise!

Congratulations to our new suppliers - Woolworths, Asda & Sainsburys (£27.97) who managed to supply us with more copies than Gem & Koch.

Hey Bob,

You probably got a poor allocation cause you havent supported other Nintendo of Wii releases, probably becuse
the mystical hardcore gamer who you so avidly listen to and obviously spends a vast amount with you told you that the other games were S&^t probably Mario kart as well....Idiot!

Anyway thanks for coming up the goods Nintendo!!!

Hey Bob,

We got a rubbish allocation too, this is despite the fact we've stocked every Nintendo game/product for the wii & ds.

The fact is an unfair proportion of the stock was allocated to the multiples, Centresoft, Koch and Gem had next to no stock.

Well done Nintendo, nice to see that a a game I have always enjoyed lived up to the hype. Looking forward to Smas Bros.

hey ( ab) i own a indie. and to say that its because we havent bought much stock of koch/gem is a load of bull.
If you new any this about this then you would know that stock was allocation only we got 11 units and we are a top 20 indie account, from koch!!!!!!

so you are a idiot for talking crap!!!

I hate to be an A-hole but man you guys keep talking about it so I have to comment. I'm looking forward to MarioKart but it sucks that you guys don't have Smash yet. It is so unbelievably good and surpasses its hype, I can't believe it hasn't released yet. I really hope you guys get some kind of exclusive gift or something special to sort of kind of make up for waiting this long. I suggest you buy it overseas. Get it.

Don't talk ****e, i work with Koch no49 retailer and he got 11 units, i don't think you are in the top 20. which company are you from?

Allocations are based on how much you buy, it can't be fairer than that can it?

Well Suprise Suprise! It was alway bound to be a knockout blow to the competition, but how long will it last??? ....with GTA IV imminent don't think it will last long at the top spot!

Wii fit... Wii Fit.

Good to see Carnival hanging in there at number 10!

why? It's rubbish

Mr Woods,

It is far from being BS, due to the stupid way Koch allocated the game a retailer @no.49 or @no.20 got the same units.

It didn't matter how much you have spent!

Not true. It is based on what you have spent in the previous quarter.

It is ridiculous to say that the no 20 and no 49 customers get the same, for that to happen they would have to have the same market share.

A Top twenty customer would get approx 30 units, simple maths.

I wish Koch got more, but the allocation system is transparent.

Well the large games store by me got over 400 units and still sold out by Sunday... Still, seems that the indi stores got short changed again.

And I'm guessing Mr. Tesco will end up with close on 50% of the Wii Fit allocation... :(

@woods

I can tell you absolutely that top 20 customers of Koch didn't even receive 30 units!

When you consider that most of those top 20 indies have mutiple stores its even more insulting.

The fact is indies were allocated less than 10% of the stock most would have ordered on a open market.

Last Friday every supermarket (Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys) had at least 50 units per store, their was no shortage of stock. It was simply the distribution of the stock was completely unfair. The indies are being treated as third class citizens by Nintendo.

My local sainsburys only had 4 copies for the release as my mate works there, my shop had 6 from koch, 3 from gem and 4 from advantage/centresoft - however Im getting another 15 from advantage today, is this the start of stock that missed the indies for day 1 or was it held back delibrately ?
