I noticed that all my local stores were sold out of MK as well. Crazy how much demand is for these two games.

Indeed.  Mario Kart has been sold out mostly in Madison since its launch.  In my opinion, that's inexcusable: I don't care how much your game is selling, Nintendo, you should be able to pump enough disks in 8  months to meet demand.

Do stores simply underorder?

I can forgive Nintendo for not producing enough balance boards because I don't know how complex it is to produce them and they're pumping them out at a fantastic rate.  But Mario Kart?

 

Even I didn't think MK would sell so well. I knew it was going to sell like gangbusters, but I wouldn't have guessed it to be on track for the best selling non-bundled console game of all time, exluding other Wii games.
