Apparently Amazon and Target in the US are out of initial shipments already. UK companies are actually cancelling preorders because they are getting way less than expected, and apparently they don't even know when more shipments might be coming.
Sounds like not only did Nintendo botched the game itself with no Galaxy 2, they of course botched the release by making it a 6 month run, and now apparently they've even botched the limited run by woefully under producing physical copies for launch. I feel like this is gonna be another Nintendo Classic disaster where they are doing a limited time run and don't even bother to take demand (of physical copies) seriously so ebay resellers are gonna be rampant.
Nintendo should have like 6 million ready for launch, another 1 million shipped later in Sept, another 1 million in October, another 2 million in Nov and Dec each, and another 1 million in Jan and Feb each. That'd be 14 million, that seems appropriate given that there will be a few million in digital sales as well. I'm guessing they produced way under this launch number. It would be vastly better for them to have a million copies left on store shelves that sell in March and April than underproduce the game like they seem to end up doing time and time again.
