That doesn't make sense. Normally a company adjusts to demand on discs fairly easily based on pre-orders. If this one store had over 800 copies pre-ordered, then I am sure there is a few hundred thousand on pre-order already. You cannot say Nintendo though this was going to be similar to Galaxies launch as it obviously was pre-sold a ton more. Usually a company would want to have their pre-orders be about 1/3 of the total stock they are receiving. Nintendo seriously dropped the ball.
I understand they are producing quite a bit of stuff, but, seriously, a game like this should be out a million on day one.
