why are there people buying it

Maybe because it's a good party system. And it's cheap. Graphics aren't everything. I mean, it also is nintendo, which means typical "new console" exclusive-ish games like Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart, plus I wouldn't doubt a new Mario Party soon. Also Wii Sports and such. Zelda and Sonic titles are also (somewhat) Nintendo exclusive I believe.

@Kylet That's probably true. As I said it's not the graphics that matter with Nintendo.

As for the main question why it's not PC, Gamestop's probably pushing for consoles. They're actually falling hard in that category due to Steam and Origin dominating the PC market. Steam dominates CoD in particular. So it figures Gamestop won't have a PC promotion. If Steam wants one (odds are it'd be more hats for TF2 if they ever do a CoD promotion), then that's up to them. Also as far as I know CoD PC discs now require a Steam account to activate. I know I had to do that for Blops1.

In other news, Steam reminded me

Anyone Hype for Wolfenstein: The New Order? I just love Wolfenstein games and their ultra-evil depiction of the Nazis and how violent and outrageous they are (don't report me :P)
