This is one real advantage that digital distribution has over the current system. Its not Nintendo or the publisher not giving the game a go - its the thousands of retailers out there.
Lets see the first shipment sell out in a day or two, and see if the next shipment is any better.
I think it will do (relatively) quite well in the long term, and signal the start of "hardcore" games doing a lot better on the Wii. They just need some real effort and some originality!
BTW - Zak & Wiki should crack 200k sold (a lot more shipped) within a month - and 250k within a couple of months. Just needs a bit more advertising, and it could have done quite well.
