Walt Disney Co.’s recently-introduced video game Infinity is selling impressively and top retailers say that they are replenishing stock to satisfy demand, making for an encouraging start for the firm’s plans to rebound its loss-generating game division. Retailers GameStop, Toys “R” Us, and Wal-Mart Stores reported that they are restocking so as to stay ahead of demand for the game, which debuted on August 18.
GameStop spokesman Matt Hodges observed that, “The momentum continues to be very strong. A couple of toy characters like Violet (the young female superhero from The Incredibles) are hard to get.” Neither Disney nor the retailers revealed specific sales figures.
