Should have looked a little harder. the biggest game store in Tokyo, Yodobashi-akiba, currently has it listed as in-stock on its website, and a quick phone call with some very bad English confirms they're on the store shelves.
I'm at work 2 hours early and have nothing better to do.

This game is selling pretty frakking well in every major market, it seems. Congrats to Insomniac for making something the fans really seem to dig.
Akihabara isn't really THE place to look for new video games, but whatever.
That said, logically speaking, 3% stock remaining while waiting for more shipments will generally have that outcome, yes.

I might be recalling wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's been discussed in the MediaCreate thread how Akihabara really isn't a great place to search for new retail games since most people go there to check first, so it's more likely to go out of stock compared to everywhere else.
LMAO. I mean, it's not surprising that specific website wants to hype up Spider-Man some more, but that's just lazy, lol. Inb4 Prey must be selling like crazy because my local GameStops don't have it on their shelf.
It is silly. Do foodie bloggers post this kind of shite when there's no tofu or avocados in Tesco/Walmart/insert your own local supermarket.
To be fair, isn't Yodobashi mostly an electronics department store and not a game store?
But yeah, without it you're mostly looking at three Trader stores in terms of new games. All the rest mostly do pre-owned games (Super Potato, Mandarake, Book-Off etc).

"It's december and none of the shops I've been to have watermelons on the shelves. I think everyone is buying watermelons guys, it's time to invest!"
Yodobashi is an everything store that specializes in cameras and electronics. They have a floor for electronics, a floor for video games, a floor for cameras, make up, etc. The one I went to on my vacation even had a tonkatsu restaurant inside.
Consumer behavior is different in that market. I remember reading somewhere a number of videogamers over there prefer physical over digital if given a choice. Perhaps I'm wrong about that though.
Imagine going to Japan and the first thing you write an article of is stock availability of a western game.
OP? Did you expect him to check with all the local Japanese stores himself before posting the thread?
