@vGInfidel, Well, I do hope for more shipment to Europe, to deprive US from getting replenishment, but I am sure that Nintendo is not that stupid :). If they are that stupid, it is a wonder they had survived for such a long time.
I think Europe will get somewhere from 20K - 100K for next 2 - 3 weeks, just to keep it available (as you said). However, I don't think it is that easy for the pre-release hype and marketing to be forgotten so quickly (in just 2 - 3 weeks). I mean, Cabbage Patch Kids, Pokemon, and recently Wii H/W itself (sold out status for 1 year), has proven than US market didn't forget hype that quickly.
I don't know about Europe market, but I have a feeling that it is also the same. As long the item is STILL available (in small quantity, sold out within first day of receiving shipment), people will NOT forget about it.
