What? People are per-ordering a console that launches in two months and at the very end of a console generation? I've never heard the likes of it in my life.

The news here is it is completely sold out so what is the point of your comment?

This is fairly common for both hardware and software, that's my point. Amazon and baby seals and all that.

Not this far from launch and not just a few days after price and date are announced.

It's not the fact it's sold out of pre-orders that is amazing, it's how fast it happened.   And no, that's not ordinary for a console or game.
