What is this, Nintendo ran out of DVD discs? they should've shipped over 1 million copies in Japan (first shipment), and 2 million for NA. After all, their own loyal fans will be the one suffering, having to pay close to 100 bucks for a game is a crime. |
I think they ended up doing some late work on the game. Remember: this is a game that was just delayed for North America. It's probably the case that Nintendo wanted to get this game out on time, but ended up with a few days too few to produce it. You can pump out a million copies on a weekend.
And look: Nintendo got 500k-600k first day, and managed to get it up to 1 million in the subsequent couple of days.
