What is going on with Xenoblade and Gamestop?

Can a store print more games by themselves? Isn't that something for the publisher of the game?

They can't.

Nintendo's just as at fault or more here if they're actually printing more (I don't think is the case, that would imply conspiracy for a game they barely released here).

Gamestop could have found some at a warehouse, or processed a certain amount of used xenoblade from people not knowing the value. Or something weird, I don't really think anythings going on beyond their typically shady practices, their used games usually sell at above market value (ebay, amazon, etc), they probably keep track of those things and then price accordingly.

So if they can't print more copies then this story is either BS or it is Nintendo who is bringing more copies out there, and GameStop is trying to get more profit than it should by selling them as used and at a higher price than the RRPP.

This whole story smells fishy.
