Did some channel checks and Christmas shopping today. Channel checks are from Walmart in Pinehurst, NC.

Spoke at length to the electronics manager at Wal-Mart. They have a HUGE selection of games added in the past few months, with PC games the main focus, although Playstation and Nintendo still outsell the PC games. Playstation seems to be killing N64. Manager states that he is selling 4-5 new Playstations for every N64 system sold.

Revenge selling very well, as was WCW/NWO - this is also Wrestling country and all wrestling games move quickly. They were on their third shipment of 20 carts for Revenge and had only 6 left.

Rugrats for both PSX and Gameboy were moving slowly. Lots on hand but few sold. Color Gameboy moving very well and Bug's Life selling well. Small Soldiers surprisingly selling very well.

On a couple personal notes - purchased Nitro for the PC. Sorry guys, but IMO, this is a terrible game. Also, the shrink wrap on the package makes the 3D hologram look poor. That said, I got the last copy in the store after an initial shipment of 6 earlier this week. Novelty and monopoly in the PC market will probably move this title, but word of mouth won't.

Also bought Devil Dice for a nephew and played quite a bit today. This is a great game! Store still had 6 copies left of an initial shipment of 12. Too bad that more people don't give this one a chance - it is excellent.

Kory
