The most important question is "why in HELL is this game sold out?" It's a friggin' disc and little else. This isn't Guitar Hero or Rock Band we're talking about here. It's a disc-based game and it's Nintendo's biggest release of the year.

There is no excuse for this to be happening. I don't remember hearing about Halo 3 selling out anywhere and that game moved far more copies than SMG is moving this week.

Again, Nintendo has no control over what retailers order. Why would retailers order more than 70K when the last game to sell even close to that first week was Twilight Princess (a launch game)? It's been a full year without first week sales that large. Obviously the logical decision by most corporate chains would be to order limited first week supplies for Wii games.

Edit:  Well if they are still having stock problems, then I don't know what's going on.  They really shouldn't be having trouble stocking large quantities later in the week.
