@jsmrekar, The key thing here is not that Costco has 50 copies of them but that Costco still has 50 copies of it that haven't been sold yet. It would be interesting to see how many they started with and how fast they flew off the shelves during Black Friday.
The problem with Mario Galaxy is the hype has pushed the value of the stock up higher than the actual sales can attain in three weeks. With all the news of people wanting a copy of the game, how much do we know about those that actually purchased it? Most people who want it will purchase the game during launch while those who are getting it as a gift or who are undecided will most likely wait to buy it until some time in December. The Decembers futures will be interesting to watch but November has been pretty well saturated and now we are just seeing the hype wear off it.
