This either means Nintendo doesn't expect very big sales or for some strange reason SMG is in short supply which makes no sense. Logic says Nintendo shipped what they expected to sell (or near it). |
Nintendo doesn't decide what to ship. They ship what retailers order. Retailers had a right to expect a small debut considering there hasn't been a single Wii game with a big first week in the UK (hence this 70K being the record). It's absolutely reasonable that retailers only ordered 70K and just as reasonable that it's sold out because of that.
