Only two times in history have I not been able to go into a store and pick up a new console near launch: The PS2 and the Wii. That's it.
Aside from those two examples, stock has always been readily available. Looking at this thread, one would think that, unless you match the success of the two best selling home consoles of all time, your device is a failure.
