well it wouldn't surprise me that it's out everywhere, since nintendo loves to drip feed release (release like 3 units/store) products (early days of the wii, nes mini) 

 

just keep your eyes peeled in local shops and online.

gamestop is offering hefty bonuses to trade-ins for the pre-order, so there are reasons to do it.

Nintendo creating fake demand again I see.

More units will be available for pre-order once the retailers have an idea on the amount of units they are expected to receive and most importantly: when.. Retailers will not want to be taking orders and guaranteeing release day delivery (or any recent day after) until that happens, that is bad for business.

 

For those who are not aware Nintendo plan to ship 2 million units for launch. This is for worldwide so its very likely pre-orders will open up again soon but not for release day delivery, I think those are truly sold out except for a handful of units retailers put aside for 'walk in' customers.

 

But saying that unless you really want to play Zelda I don't see a reason to get one of launch day unless you really want to play the thing. If you have no interest in the launch games then you can just wait

Manufactuered demand is still demand nonetheless. If people want it, and are buying it, and it's selling out in droves, then the demand is there. 

 

Calling it "manufactured" or "fake" is just a pessimists way of denigrating a product that he probably couldn't get a hold of.... or just didn't want in the beginning any way.
