It's easy to sell out when you ship so little.

And if they had more stock it would have sold out anyway. If ps3 had launched at £425 today it would struggle to sell 1,000 let alone 40,000. The uk is a much harder market these days. Unless you have the apple logo people don't go gaga over you here. It isn't specifically nintendo. If things don't improve here the xbox will struggle far more then this because it will be more expensive.

For 48 hours, to completely sell out is a great accomplishment.

what about the ebay factor? 

and Im not sure it is sold out goven the quick research i just did.

WOW 299 pounds. Not sure if that is considered expensive or not. But converting it to AUD is $461. I paid $378 AUD  for my premium launch Wii U, which is less than I paid for the Wii at $400.
