Yodobashi is not quite that big when it comes to the games section. At least the one in Akihabara wasn't. I think the Gundam (+ figures / plastic toys) section was just as big, if not bigger, than the entire gaming section on this specific Yodobashi. Which in itself was only 1 out of 8 floors of a really big building.

Is it common to hear games being sold out in this store? 

I can't say how common it is that such news is made available. What I can say is that the gaming section on the Yodobashi (in Akihabara at least) was quite small, especially considering the gigantic size of the store itself. Keep in mind a big part of the gaming area is filled with figurines and other merchandise.

If I had to put money on it, it's probably quite easy for a small game like this one to sold out. I'm sure it will have a big appeal in the Japanese market though.
