Can someone explain this to me? Amazon is "sold out" of this game. You can buy it with a ship date of late mid July. Are they conceding the market for physical games post release to places that also have a retail presence like Walmart, Best Buy and Target? I get that most sales are moving to digital, but to throw in the towel like this for hot games in the weeks after launch is pathetic.

I originally had it preordered from Amazon and cancelled because I was busy and figured I would wait to make sure I could play it.

Amazon represents a low market share of PS4/PS5 games and consoles and a higher market share for Nintendo Switch games/consoles compared to other retailers.

And yes, it's back ordered until 20th July and beyond, I'll suggest you get it from other retailer.

I got it at Walmart this morning after hitting the park for a walk. I could easily get it in several stores or from those chains online. The game is selling well, one would think that a major online retailer would rather get a cut of that instead of not. A sale is a sale and they are not making any if they can't deliver next day or 2 days.

This 3 million seems so low after these big hits we've had this year like hogwarts and I'm guessing zelda blew past 3 million in pre-orders.

I heard Square Enix is slightly panicking over how fast FF16 is selling...

SE are raging as preorders for FFXVII are non-existent
