Why thankyou wilf....while not a panacea of hope and prosperity, imo, having a national "go" at it, is indeed the ultimate goal to evaluate walmarts market penetration for lfbg games.

100 stores in texas was a primer only imo

that said....I do concede that the 2006 campaign was riddled with smear campaign tactics, bad press being considered as good as or even better as good does not make for a solid campaign if the stores were indeed limited

therefore the comparison to a national campaign today is not genuine.

I am not saying this national release this year, is a locked solid game changing environment (no pun intended) but certainly it is MISLEADING for anyone to purport that in 2006, walmart was national....unless there's proof of that....I cannot find any.

Like all products carried by WalMart, they place them in stores where there is demand.

A limtied agreement means WalMart would carry them only in a preselected number of stores and not on a nationwide level.

The article states that they will continue to sell the game in stores where there is demand which does not limit the game to any number of stores as if the demand was in every WalMart they would be carrying the game in all of them woudl they not?

According to the article they stated in stores where there was demand. That is unlimited as demand determines whether or not the game is placed on the shelf.

Like I said, people can interpre that in many ways but I read it to say that if there is demand for the game in any WalMart store it will be placed there and that would make it a national agreement for WalMart to place the game in as many stores as they see fit.
