GAME refuses 'Oblivion' due to 'tight margins'

Following the tight-lipped decision by high-street chain GAME to refuse stocking copies of the global PlayStation 3 hit The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, one industry insider has spoken out to reveal why the firm made the decision.

Although the insider wishes to remain anonymous, we can confirm they do have close contact with the title. The insider told Digital Spy, "GAME decided not to stock this game due to the very tight margins that came with it. The chain is in business to make money but they would have made very little if they had gone ahead and sold this".

GAME are still working with Ubi Soft on other games and are currently offering a pre-order deal on the firm's June 29 release, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2.

We approached GAME for a reply, but they refused to comment.
