News: Xenoblade Chronicles Facing Stock Shortages
Posted 18 Aug 2011 at 14:30 by Ashley Jones
Retailer ShopTo has claimed their stock for Xenoblade Chronicles probably won't meet demand.
JRPG fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of Xenoblade Chronicles as quite often JRPG games don't make it over to Europe. This is not the case with Xenoblade Chronicles, due out tomorrow, but getting your hands on a copy may not be too easy as it seems stock levels will be lower than demanded.
Online retailer ShopTo has tweeted to let customers know that "the publisher has experienced great stock shortages of this title", meaning that some fans could be quite disappointed. According to their tweet there has been "unexpected late demand" of the title and it seems not enough copies were made. No other retailers have addressed the issue at the moment but a few of our readers have spoken to their local stores and it seems stock levels may well be low across the board.
We're sure that if this is the case Nintendo will quickly rectify it but if you really want to get your hands on the game tomorrow be sure to get to your local retailer early. If you're still undecided about whether or not to purchase Xenoblade Chronicles be sure to check out Aaron's review.
