I have friends at Toys R Us management in MI, and they say sales are minimal. >>Resnick: NASCAR® RacePro (Nintendo/PlayStation) >>is selling out as fast as we can ship them to Best Buy >> and Toys r' Us. I will look in to the situation at our >> website. Add the fact that only a small percentage of games are of the racing variety, the unit is EIGHTY DOLLARS(!), and they carry competitors at forty and fifty dollar price points, I wouldn't be too excited.
