Pre-orders are still open in the US. Where are they sold out? Europe? 

Wal-mart, Gamestop, Best Buy, Target...

The 4 biggest US retailers...all sold out.

Huh?  You mean the black edition?  Wal-mart has never sold out of the white version, as far as I know.

Those are special bundles.   They rarely sell out regardless of the console even after launch.  They were the last things to sell out when Wii was at its absolute peak.  They never sell out of pre-orders for them.
