After 10 Years Walmart Finally to Reveal Video Game Data
USA to get real numbers at last
You may not have realised but for a decade or more there has been a huge chunk of data missing from USA video games sales figures. For 'big' read 'Wal-Mart-sized'. This is about to be resolved as Wal-Mart has decided to release its data.
According to Forbes, "This release also includes bulk retailer Sam’s Club, and will start 'in a few months' according to the company. Wal-Mart has long been at the forefront of the battle against violent games, often threatening bans and such against certain titles, but that rhetoric seems to have cooled in recent times, and with the Supreme Court’s recent decision that classify video games as having free speech protection, I bet we’ll see even less issues in the future."
