This.
Retailers just don't order a lot of Nintendo products.
What Boutros said. You can never be sure with Nintendo what sold out really means.
| binary solo said: In the USA possibly yes. But in the UK it only gave 3DS a 57% boost, which is not much for a hardware refresh in the grand scheme of things. And if that lead to a selling out in the UK then that would mean undersupply, which would probably mean selling better than expected, but in this case better than expected would not necessarily mean selling very well in an absolute sense. I'm sure Nintendo through it supplied the USA adequately for projected demand. As USA is a reasonably strong country for 3DS I would think the supply into the USA would be good enough that a nation-wide sell out means very good sales. |
UK didn't give it a 57% boost, it gave HW for the entire week 57% boost. Big Difference

Lol! We could have a monthly SpurgePD based on your observations at Walmart. People's heads would explode at the amount of accuracy!
I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.
On Amazon Germany the Zelda edition is sold out (only from 3rd parties). However the regular N3DS (non-bundle) seems to be properly available (even in different colors). Now maybe Amazon has a shitton of them or Nintendo properly shipped to Germany.
EDIT: OK it´s available at every large retailer such as Media Markt, Saturn, Expert and pretty much every online retailer

Your wrong here, its more of NoA Nintendo doesn't ship as much. This thread proves it as well as the gcn adapter+amiibos.

You have fallen into the same trap like others!Read a little better and more carefully the text in the UK'S charts!;)
Τhe 57% isn't for 3DS...It means that new 3ds/xl release gave a 57% boost to the total of hardware sales of all consoles.
It was selling out before even releases,so what you say isn't a surprise!As for you question,what do you mean better than expected...?
It depends on what each person expects!I can't say that is sells better than expected as in any way I have high expectations!:P
The New 3DS is only going to be bigger and better once more software comes out primarily for that new system. I have the New 3DS XL, and i'm so impressed by how fast the thing processes!
