How often to sowftware shortages happen? the only time a game I wanted was sold out is November, 19, when I camped out for the Wii and tried to buy Zelda.

Not very often, the fact that they just press a disc means they have tons of units available if they want them. A software shortage is almost always underestimated sales forecasts (as opposed to production issues etc...). I would be shocked if the sold out on a large scale, I have a feeling its scattered sellouts with nationwide solid sales. The real question is probably going to be how many units did they ship first week?


 As many as shops have orderd, probably. I see no reason why not. Normally they should order them weeks before the release, and i don't think that you can't find enough producer to press the ordered units in China. 

So if there is a shortage, it is most likely the shops underestimate demand.
