It's just one shop, but it's one of the biggest! The mega Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara has posted sellout signs for Monster Hunter 3G. The shop says it will get its next shipment on the 15th.

Inside Games snapped this and other pics from the MH3G launch today for its Twitter account.

The site also reports that the Akiba Yodobashi sold out of the solo Circle Pad expansion.

While we're going to have to wait until next week for sales figures, it looks like MH3G brought out the 3DS owners and they brought their system with them! Midway through the day, Inside Games had managed to do Street Pass transfers with 100 3DS owners.
