Just the wrong customer. They would be counting the sales to the stores. Not the store's sale to the consumer. After they sell their product, they don't care what the store sells it for and if they loose money (the selling store). When BestBuy, Wal-Mart, whatever-the-current-names-are, sells a product at a loss, the gaming company takes no losses. When the retail outlets stop buying into the hype and order fewer units and wait to reorder when necessary, then they will pay attention to their audience. Chuck
