    100 videogame shops quizzed - Wii stock biggest disappointment of 2007

    MCV has quizzed 100 independant videogames shops to reveal their insight into the games industry this year. There's some interesting conclusions, including Halo 3 as being their highlight of 2007 (ker..ching!) and the lack of Wii stock being their biggest disappointment.

    I'm not sure that headline's the best; it seems to imply that the Wii itself is a disappointment, rather than the fact that the retailers can't get enough stock of the thing to satisfy demand. Also needs a spollchooker running on it...?

    Yah. "Wii stock biggest disappointment of 2007" would make far more sense.

    Except... "Which format will win the next generation battle?" and Wii only got 16%. So mebbe. I dunno!

    Also needs a spollchooker running on it...? How come? Honourable? The Wii is a big disappointment, if you haven't got one.

    In all seriousness I wish I could write longer headlines, but they can only be a certain length due to it having to fit neatly on the sigs.

    They're probably annoyed with Nintendo because of the amount of people bugging them throughout the year for Wii, which they never have in stock.

    Re: 100 videogame shops quizzed - Wii biggest dissapoinment of 2007

    But then why would they give the "Success of the Wii" 30% of the Highlight of the Year votes, just 1% short of the 31% that Halo 3 sales garnered?

    The Launch of the PS3 has certainly been the highlight of my year.

    Edit: yes. It's disappointment. As in, appointment, with 'dis' on the front. That's how I remember it.

    Edit again: all those categories on the poll are confusing me! It's almost as if different videogame shops have different opinions! No fair!

    Dear lord.. Pro Street at number one will be bad. That game is awful - even compared to some of the games that disappointed (Assassin's Creed for instance)!
