So what exactly does selling out mean in real numbers?

I'll wait...

The reality is that NO ONE knows how much initial stock these retailers have allocated to them because they're not going to tell us. Selling out pre-orders means nothing without stock numbers to go on.

Has it occurred to anyone that Nintendo is intentionally suppressing inventory stock for retailers in order to be able to brag about pre-sale sell-outs without providing specifics... y'know, kind of like they've doing all along for the Wii U... not providing specifics, that is.

Suppressing Stock Inventories = Artificially Creating A Demand

I personally don't know if this is the case, but it's certainly something to consider.

Probably like 10 units a store perhaps, I don't actually know this stocking for a launch however. Obviously they are going to play it safe, do you really expect Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft to make too many units shipped and then get ridiculed that it isn't selling? People get curious when something "sells out".

yakuza been weak, yakuza 2 was the last one worth playing. if u cop a ps3, its for games like valkyria chronicles, ratchet and clank a crack in time, uncharted, persona 3, arkham asylum with the joker challenge maps, etc.

u know, good games. not current-gen yakuza.

Also games like Soul Calibur IV and V, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast (first one's the only one worth playing), MGS4...
