PS4 exclusive Nioh appears to be sold out in most Australian stores. Upon calling metro JB Hi-FI and EB Games, most stores sold out of the game early yesterday morning. A quick search on their website shows that the game is only available in some suburban EB Games and JB Hi-Fi stores, with none of the city stores displaying stock.
The game was not being stocked by either Big W or Target which meant that it was always going to be harder to find.
A JB Hi-Fi representative has confirmed that more stock should be going out tomorrow to hopefully arrive in stores early next week at the latest.
The game was widely praised. We gave it a 9 in our review and it’s currently sitting at 87 on Metacritic.

The JB hi-fi I went to had 2 copies of Nioh on the shelf. Might be one of those games that are hard to find a physical copy for?

Apparently Nioh already sold out Australia wide! I knew I should've bought it on launch day. They weren't expecting the demand-
