Why doesnt Wal-Mart get games in like when EB and Gamestop do?

They are the biggest retailer in the world. Sell more video games than any other chain, and get DVD's when they are supposed to, so why does it take them 3 days longer to get new game releases in?

I think it has to do with how the games get delivered to big stores like Wal Mart and Best Buy. They have central distribution centers, so they get the game the same day that smaller retailers do, but they still have to get it to their stores. So it's a day later.

I Know why because i worked at both Kmart and Wal-mart in the past, it's because their not a Video Game Store Only, They usually get them a week later.

A lot of it is because Gaming is not their buisness, unlike game stores. If Best Buy or Walmart don't get them in on day one it's not a big deal to them. If EB and Gamestop doing get them in on day 1 it's would put a huge dent in their sales, since people could get the games elsewhere.
