I just picked this up today at GameStop, and jokingly asked the guy working if I was one of five to pick it up. He said that they originally only ordered four, and sold them out and had to re-order. Now granted, I don't live in a huge city or anything, but only 4+?? Wow...

That's standard practice for GameStop.  They only buy around 3-8 copies of a game for each store if they think is a 'weak' release.  And what they deem is a weak release is something that isn't marketed highly.  AKA, something on the level of Pokemon or GTA.  This is why you'll see 100 copies of a new Pokemon game upon release, but never be able to find a copy of a DS Dragon Quest game when its released.  They only buy more copies of 'low end' games AFTER they sell out.
