It would be helpful to know what the production run on the FFXIII LE bundle was. It may well have been under 10K units which would make the "sold out" news a lot less impressive.
Clearly they produced numbers under the actual demand, whether that was a case of underestimating consumer interest or deliberate on SCE's part to drive a rush of sales and pre-release enthusiasm.
From a publisher standpoint, now is an excellent time to release a bestselling AAA title with the new price in play as the lower price means lower entry barrier. Numbers of soft sales only have higher potential as the install base continues to increase at a faster rate.
