Buy it on Amazon. It's in stock.Both. Bayonetta 1 sold less than 1.5 million lifetime and that was after massive price drops. It only sold a couple hundred thousand at launch.So Nintendo wasn't going to print 10 million copies to flood retail stores with stock. Nor were retail stores going to reserve 100 copies per store just to have them sit around waiting for a price drop, not when the Wii U user base is so small and with Bayonetta 1's sales history.
