Why doesn't Xtra Vision/HMV stock Nintendo ?

    I have been wondering for a while is there any reason in particular that Xtra Vision/HMV doesn't stock Nintendo games and products is it a disagreement with supplier, I think they don't stuck WWE DVDs due to an issue with a supplier, or just a dislike for Nintendo ?

    HMV on Henry Street sell the 2DS. No Wii U, but they carried some new releases up until a few months ago, and still get the odd new 3DS release.

    It's probably because it's not that lucrative a system for them.

    The suppliers are less willing to make deals has been my guess.

    Ask them in store, maybe they'll say "you're the 100th person to ask, now we'll stock all the nintendo games!"

    The previous HMV and Xtravision companies came close(actually did in some cases) to going bust and burned Nintendo on lots of stock so now Nintendo want to be paid up front for stock, also given that Sony and Microsoft stock is much more popular sadly neither store wants to give shelf space to Nintendo rather COD, FIFA, Assassin's Creed yearly mass produced crap.

    Argos seems now to be the go to shop for Nintendo with Smyths also stocking some but not all to my knowledge no one has stocked Persona Q for 3DS.
