Struggling UK retailer GAME will not be stocking any of Ubisoft's PS Vita launch titles.
The news was confirmed to VG247 via this statement:
"At this time we will not be selling the following Ubisoft titles; Lumines Electronic Symphony, Michael Jackson: The Experience, Rayman Origins, Asphalt Injection and Dungeon Hunter Alliance. All customers affected by this decision have been made aware of the situation and we will continue to communicate any updates to customers through our Twitter and Facebook feeds."
It's another worrying development for GAME, who recently cancelled pre-orders for the limited edition of The Last Story, switching customers to the standard edition (also reported by VG247).
Given the lack of comment by Ubisoft, it is impossible to ascertain whether these will be isolated cases, or whether GAME is now struggling to get major releases onto shelves. Recently the retailer agreed new financing arrangements with many of its suppliers. They had hoped to dispel rumours that they were going to have trouble stocking the latest games, a situation that looks to have now become a reality. GAME also recently announced a predicted annual loss of £18 million.
