Nintendo's next-generation Wii console topped Canadian unit hardware sales in February and Nintendo's games accounted for six of the top 10 selling titles in the month, according to The NPD Group, which tracks the industry.[
(...)
Games for Nintendo hardware (Wii, DS, GameCube and GameBoy Advance) occupied 11 of the 20 places on the sales chart with Xbox 360 claiming the remaining five.

Canadian Top 10 Best-Selling Games for February, 2007

1. Wii Play with Wii Remote--Wii
2. Crackdown--Xbox 360
3. Diddy Kong Racing--Nintendo DS
4. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess--Wii
5. New Super Mario Bros.--DS
6. Lost Planet: Extreme Condition--Xbox 360
7. WarioWare: Smooth Moves--Wii
8. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess--GameCube
9. Gears of War--Xbox 360
10. Guitar Hero 2 bundle--PlayStation 2

The sales discrepancies between Canada and the US are very interesting, actually.. I wouldn't have thought that there was much of a difference except for the fact that NHL games sell much better over here obviously.

The PS3 sold only slightly over 6,000 units here, and the 360 about 12,000 systems. The Wii was at nearly 30,000, and it's sold out everywhere.

Too good of a deal to be true. This was shot-down as a pricing error later-on in that same thread.

I'm too lazy to go and read the thread, so was it just the Wii part that was an error or the whole thing?

Wow. Compared to the other system sales in the same region, I'd say Canada is in fact one of the most pro-Wii places yet seen.

The whole thing sadly... What they meant was "Zelda: TP for $40." Both GCN and Wii versions were $40 each.

Oh, by the way, Super Store has a lot of games (all systems) marked down to $20, and other price drops. The only Wii game I saw was DBZ Budokai-whatsit 2 for $20. It might be worth checking out!

IceCold · « **Reply #31 on:** March 17, 2007, 04:45:59 PM »

Whoa! I played DBZ and I liked it, but I never picked it up, thinking I would when it got a price drop. I'll definitely check that out.

Oh, and I'm also going to see if Future Shop or Walmart would match the price for the Zellers flier.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #32 on:** March 17, 2007, 04:57:13 PM »

Buy me a DBZ for $20 and I'll pay you back, I promise.
I want the game, even though I've never played it, but I hate paying full price for games other than the ones I know I will get my moneys worth from(ie. Zelda & Mario).

it just says coming soon, i can't order it : ( Was i too late? that buy 2 get $20 off is pretty sweet sounding though, I'm gonna try to get paper mario and something else. Thanks Pro and Shecky for the heads up.

Shecky · « **Reply #46 on:** May 27, 2007, 02:37:34 PM »

I was able to grab Mario Party and Paper Mario and get the $20. I just got this by email shortly after ordering...

This email is to notify you of a change in the release date of your pre-ordered item. This change is a result of a manufacturer decision and not Circuit
City?s, but we will keep you informed of any further date changes we receive. You will not be charged for this item until it is shipped to you.

Original Release Date: 06/01/2007

New Release Date: 05/27/2007

Product Desired: Mario Party 8 (Wii)

So there is the posibility that they no longer offer it online to control stock and ensure store availability, and they were late to fix the date. The store ad claims that you get a $20 gift card if they don't have the game Wednesday after 2pm (Just for Wednesday and I think you commit to buying the game when they do get it in)

Edit: It's $40 in store too, although the buy 2 and get $20 seems to be online only...

Shecky · « **Reply #47 on:** May 29, 2007, 01:52:36 PM »

Looks like CCity is putting my preorder on indefinate hold... hmm. The in-store ad price is still $40.
