Similar to Sullla, I had no problems finding my copy at Walmart(without a preorder). There were about 10 copies, and the store was not busy in the video game section at all. Although, I guess they shouldn't be at about 4:30 A.M..

You just made me laughing and crying at the same time... 

I strolled into The Real Canadian Superstore at 11:00 and picked up a copy of brawl (they had two copies on the shelf and a small pile behind the counter); being that this is the same store I picked up my Wii at launch when I got into line at 7:30am this could just be that no one thinks of The Real Canadian Superstore as a place that sells videogames.

Personally, I would suspect that Nintendo encouraged retailers to buy an adequate number of copies for their Sunday launch and then suggested that they would need an additional shipment on tuesday (when most stores receive their new games); some stores probably took this advice, with others thinking that (since Brawl doesn't have a bumpy armored space marine in it) Super Smash Bros. would not sell that many units that quickly.

This is just the first day of a seven day week :)

My job (Wal Mart) got fifty-seven copies. I work thee overnight shift and we had about fifteen people or so waiting for the game. When I left this morning, the case literally had four left. I assume, by now, we have sold them all.

It was selling very well, but not at, "five minute sell-out" rates. I am assuming if you go to a place like this, you should find some since most people were at Gamestop last night trying to win that tournament.

You should be able to find it alright I think.

How many copies of most games do you get on launch day?

Must really suck if it is sold out =/.

I bet that they it sell 1.7 million in the predictions league.

@HappySqurriel,

It depends on the game really. And how many the company wants to send. This game saw a lot in comparison to, say, Guitar Hero III for Wii (I cannot speak on all four because I was only watching for the Wii version) which we only saw twenty-two of.

But in comparions to a game like Halo 3, where we saw almost eighty (across all three different versions) Super Smash Bros. Brawl was not setting any records.

It is easier for me to remember the count if the game is not multiplatform. But, with GTA IV, I will try to keep it in mind and then inform you on how many we got just to give you a little bit to compare.

Also to keep in mind, we have a Gamestop in the same shopping complex. So people were there first and then we started seeing the people that did not reserve it there come into our store over the course of the night to pick the game up. Sales might be different at another location based on this small fact. It could swing either way really, but where there is a Wal Mart as thee only close, and open store to sell the game, the game may have sold a little bit faster.
