Not true. First party rarely sell out, or they restock quick, but third party games tend to sell out and the restock can take weeks/months. Look at Expedition 33 recently. Took me 2 months after release to get it at msrp from amazon :/

Video games sell out all the time on release day where I live.

This is the biggest load of b******* I've ever seen, helldivers 2, Claire obscure, I couldn't find a physical copy of cyberpunk on the Switch 2 for 5 weeks, Donkey Kong is currently sold out in my area, and college football sold out. Yeah there's a digital option but I want something physical.

nah brodie, i got the last (DKB) not pre ordered copy at gamestop and i got there at noon. and in my area all targets didn’t have copies. and as other ppl have pointed out, 33 was sold out for months. Idk if they’re doing this scarcity thing to combat ppl not pre ordering but there’s a chance u might not to be able to get a game if u don’t pre order these days. and another example i just remembered was space marine last year. those physical copies sold out quick

I feel like GTA6 is going to sell out immediately
