Demon's Souls - Asian Version Shortage

«©NCSX» A game we didn't expect to arrive early (Ryu Ga Gotoku 3) did and a game we did expect to arrive early (Demon's Souls) didn't. The Asian version of Demon's Souls was held back for release until Tuesday but please note that vendors in Hong Kong warned us earlier this morning that the game will be very limited and there will be a major shortage this week.

It appears that Sony cut shipments to vendors in Hong Kong by as much as 80%. The Japanese version which was released a couple of weeks ago was also very limited. This seems to indicate a lack of confidence on the potential sales of the game in the Pacific region. In other news, there's a bountiful supply of Hakuna Matata (Asian version of Afrika) across Hong Kong.

We'll post another update tomorrow once we verify what's been shipped to us. Furthermore, the shortage situation should be temporary.
