Todd, I originally posted this on the Fool board. It was a follow-up to a channel check I had conducted last Saturday. Note, your last post could have easily been used to summarize my findings as well. Nice bit of triangulation. Here is the post: Subject: Updated Channel Check -- LA Area Date: Mon, Jun 22, 1998 22:39 EDT From: Jaydubs Message-id: Reasonably positive channel. check, though a bit slow in places. Seems consistent with what I've been seeing on the board. I think we've clearly got a success, but not the smash some were hoping for. FWIW, I added to my position today. Quest has met my expectations, and I think the best is yet to come for this company. Updates in italics... Electronic Boutique, Northridge (818-772-8123) Five or six left from original 35-40. "It's a good game. It's been selling." Me: "Wow...it's really moving...how does that stack up against other top sellers." EB: "For the 64 it's one of the best sellers right now along with the baseball game." Update: Four left. Not sure whether or not there has been a reorder since my last call. Electronic Boutique, W. LA (310-474-7742) 12 left from original shipment of 36. "It's doing really well." Update: 2 left. Not sure whether or not there has been a reorder since my last call. "More in Wednesday or Thursday." Electronic Boutique, Glendale (818-243-3576) 12 shipped. 10 left. Update: 10 left. Sales are weak. "Couldn't recommend it. For a menu driven RPG its really childlike. If you have a Playstation there are much better RPGs out there." Software etc, Fox Hills (310-390-2919) Sold 10, no idea how many they started with. "Dude just bought it...said if you like Final Fantasy, you'll like this one." Update: Seven left. "Selling pretty quick." He had no idea how many they had originally gotten it, or how many they had sold. Software etc., Torrance (310-370-4734) 30-40 left. Had twenty people on sign-up list and estimates most have bought already. "Lots of people have been asking for it." Update: "More than 10 left. Should be enough to last until Wednesday. Not as hot as other games like Goldeneye, that caliber of game, but its selling OK." Toys R Us, Century City (310-398-5775) 40 left. "Have another case in the back" (inclusive in the 40 quoted). "Came out recently so selling quite well. Who are you? Why are you asking all these questions?" ;) Update: "12 left. Not sure when we are getting more but we will get more in soon. Selling pretty good."
