This is a dumb question.... sorry.
Even the 360 and PS3 sold out at launch... hell probably Vita did to. There is simply no way they can manufacture enough in the very beginning unless it is a crap product with zero software or greatly over priced.
Also, only the Deluxe set is sold out. So clearly demand is for the more expensive model with everything and in Black.
100% of Nintendo's first month of product will come to US/CA. That is why Japan/EU don't launch until December. But it simply won't be enough.
Even Samsung's Galaxy S3 was sold out as will iPhone5 and did iPhone 4s and all previous. Its just a part of a new popular product launching. The manufacturer finalizes it and begins production with as much as they can produce... initially that's not even at 80% capacity as you have to do a lot of initial testing and tweaking of the process to get it up to full speed.
This is why you're best bet is to always pre-order. You don't even have to really pay for it until launch day. If you can live past day one without it, even easier is to just order online and let it be shipped.
finally, I'll have a few on Ebay. :) more than happy to let you bid on one of them in October.
