1033 games listed on Vgchartz, 462 with actual sales numbers- Why do retailers and game stores only have 20-30 3DS games available at a time?

I suppose they have what they think sell more, having games that don't sell is a pain for any store, for both taking space and for potential losses (not having stock of something that could sell). Also, most of those games probably sold the most through preorders, and once those first prints sold out, they stayed digital or online-retail only.

You know it deserves the GOTY.
