No it's the retailer's fault. They order how many they want to put in their stores and warehouses. EA, like all publishers/distributors, will sell them to the retailers and they will have them in their warehouses. Then the retailers put them out on the designated "street dates". Not EA's fault as they probably shipped them the game to their warehouses at least a few days ago. More than likely the retailers haven't gotten them out of their warehouses and sent to the stores or the regional stores haven't put them on the shelves (highly unlikely). Majority of the time, publishers/distributors aren't going to miss their shipments. Usually it's the retailer's fault if the game is not on shelves at the designated street date.

The release date is only meant for big games. Regular games are usually in stops 1-2 days after release dates. Punch Out!! is a big enough game to be on store shelves on the actual release date. Boom Box isn't.
