RUMOR - Blockbuster UK's Wii U software listings are sales team speculation

Here's a blurb coming from someone who was supposedly a Blockbuster employee until recently...

I was a Blockbuster store manager until a month ago. ALL of the Wii U games on the system are ENTIRELY speculated by the sales team, and are there purely as placeholders. I even advised the games team on a few of those, including Killer Freaks when I was in Uxbridge with my DM and regional manager.

Of course, some of the titles included in that list are bound to be spot-on, while others will be nothing more than the speculation they supposedly were in the first place.

As a former BB employee I'll tell you a store manager has no say in the process of making SKU's whatsoever, at all.

They just manage a staff, nothing high up like actually picking what SKU's go into the system. C'mon people how can you not see that a manager, especially "former" manager would not have access to this?

He/She could be assuming it's speculation by a sales team somewhere who picks what gets a SKU or not, but the manager him/herself had no role in it whatsoever.

Sounds more like an attempted coverup.

Good because I did not want a damaged Wii U
