UDraw sold out at some locations: http://www.gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=143173

In America (Nov 14th), one new Wii exclusive item was launched last Sunday by THQ Inc. (NASDAQ:THQI), and it is selling well. So well, in fact, that Udraw is presently sold out at Toys R Us and Wal-Mart.

THQ expecting big things from UDraw:  http://www.gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=143140

- since the uDraw launch, share prices were up 21 percent
- "confident that THQ will sell its planned production of 1 million tablets over the balance of the fiscal year." - Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter
- THQ increased production targets to 1.3 million, up from 1 million

As for the lack of ads, it was advertised twice during the iCarly hour-long episode "i Start a Fan War" on Friday, Nov. 19 on Nickelodeon in the US. And before anyone says anything, that was the fourth overall and highest non-sports basic cable program in the US last week with over 5 million viewers (it was also 6th and 16th highest in its Saturday and Sunday re-airs ... but I don't know if the commercial was also shown then).
