And people say Japan isn't going towards digital like the rest of the world.

Maybe Nintendo has only reserved 2M physical copies of Splatoon 3 for Japan and all the stock has been sold. Maybe not everyone who wanted a physical copy has been able to get one. I mean 2M was even more than Animal Crossing.

Physical stock is a problem for countless games and will continue to be as game developers/publishers push for more digital sales. And with more digital sales, physical game stores will close, leading to more physical stock issues.
