I don't really believe those figures are that low at all. It's sold out everywhere round here, and my friends around the country have confirmed this. No way is it that low.

well the article did say it sold out.  if 40k is the real number the question to ask is why did nintendo ship so few?

Im guessing we are getting the same conflicting information about the UK launch as with the US launch.  Officials are saying its sold out, but people on the ground are saying its not.
