Devil's Third for Wii U super rare

[lendelin]

This is the typical hype and hysteria about the alleged 'rarity' of a game.

Only 420 copies released in the US? Ridiculous and highly unlikely for all the good reasons in the world.

I could give you so many similiar examples in the last twenty years, all games became after some time available for very normal prices. Online gossip and speculations made the hysteria worse and reenforced it, that's the only new aspect of it.

Don't buy into this nonsense. In a year or in a couple of years you'll get this game for a regular price. The worst thing at this point is to run with the crowd, get nervous. speculate and pay an amount of money you'll sure regret later.

This. Nintendo realized years ago that making a product seem hard to find will cause the item to go out of stock the moment it hits shelves regardless of quality. There's been yet another Amazon restock only to go out of stock again before the hour was up. Just wait a year and it'll be as common as Xenoblade for the Wii.

But also, it's not just Nintendo games that people panic about, but Nintendo is the one that does this tactic to all of the games that aren't guaranteed sellers. Atlus does it too at launch, but not quite like Nintendo where the game is severely underprinted. Atlus tends to go on their name Atlus as rarity and slightly under prints the first batch of games, then afterwards doesn't ever seem like a problem to find. Unlike days past though, Atlus games aren't rare. They're about as common as any mainstream game to those who are interested.

You can still buy it digital so there's no point to this unless you want a physical copy. And if that's the case you might as well wait until it gets restocked. This is similar to the first Dead Island game. They sent no more than two or three copies per system per store when it launched. So one PS3 copy, two 360 copies, etc. And I talked to several employees at multiple Besy Buy's and Target's to learn that this was indeed the case. In a few weeks the game was completely restocked but during that first few weeks people grabbed copies of the game when they saw it due to them thinking it was actually rare when it never was.
