You have to remember that Retailers only carry a certain amount of titles for any perdiod of time, they are VERY selective on which titles will occupy the limited Shelfspace (SPECIALLY ON THE HOLIDAYS!!!!); so dont expect them to restock a lot of copies of this game in particular, nor give it a lot of exposure.

we will have a lot of NEW 3DS games by that time that will be a PRIORITY, at least for the retailer.

At this point, I'm not convinced that there are that many "NEW 3DS games" coming this year. I mean, outside of the obvious ones, I think that a lot of developers have decided to avoid this holiday season for some reason.

And for the record, nothing stops older titles from selling exceptionally well. Wipeout: The Game, from Activision, sold over 130,000 in America in a single week, a year and a half after launch. It happens. Retailers respond to demand, and they're able to see when demand spikes.
