    I can't find this game anywhere. ANYWHERE.
    This is the first time I've ever seen a major release actually sell out completely within one day, usually Walmart or the Best Buy have piles of them.
    Did Nintendo not anticipate this? There's no way...

    Nintendo said they were shipping a smaller amount. Can't imagine why, unless they want shoppers to see that there aren't many left and make an impulse buy.

    There was a news article posted somewhere (possibly here) a while ago which said Nintendo was unhappy about Spirit Tracks' sales numbers and how that might affect this game.

    Something like this.  It hit the Japanese bargain bins in like 2 weeks after release and Nintendo didn't want it to happen it.

    Don't know how reliable the site is, but it seems pretty logical.

    There're still a few in stock in places where I live (UK) but I don't think they'll last long.

    Yeah, in Derby (UK) they'd sold out in GAME, but Sainsburys had a load in.

    Its everywhere in the UK.

    Sales figures are low, with 20% of 3ds owners buying it, which is not many.

    I am talking only UK figures, sorry.

    And 20% of 3,600,000 not 1,080,000 by my calculations :S

    Then what did I buy yesterday? Or is me being boned a completely different matter than if I could find the game or not?

    I went to one of my local Walmarts yesterday and they had about 5 of them in stock still. So. I guess it just depends on how many each store decided to carry. And I live in a pretty populated area so I was surprised that there was some left.

    It must be varying a lot by location. In the WalMart I work at we only got 10 copies.

    I'm pretty happy I pre ordered my copy. That being said I'm in Australia so I doubt very much that it'll sell out here...
