This is what is keeping Nintendo from putting the stake through the heart of the competition.
When I worked retail the home office dictated where and how many copies of things were put out in stores. Companies pay for that, they also give stand-ups posters coupons discounts bookmarks... you name it. I am sure most stores selling games are the same way. Sure they carry everything but years of sorting though a sideways stack of games on the bottom shelf for that new gamecube titles lets me know Nintendo doesn't do any of that. That is a mistake.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
