Is Australia facing a Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate stock shortage?

Stevivor.com — "The guys over at Vooks.net — who are THE AUTHORITY (all caps!) when it comes to all things Nintendo in Australia — have reported today that Australia looks to be facing a stock shortage on Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.

"Vooks alleges that a number of EB Games stores around the country have stopped taking pre-orders of the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game, as they’ve already received their allocated stock and have exhausted it all ahead of the game’s launch this Saturday."
