Apparently only 420 (kek) copies were sent to US GameStops in total. That seems real rough.

Artificial scarcity = perceived rarity = increased desire = initial sellout of stock = slowly increase available stock while artificial scarcity impression persists = bigger sales overall.

The European release isn't all that rare. The Japanese release is a bit pricier, but it's really only the North American release that's super rare because Nintendo of America released (as has been mentioned) fewer than 500 copies.

Ah, my mistake. I thought that those 420 copies were all that were released. Thanks for correcting me.

Yeah, it is. I'd hazard a guess that most of us in this community, though, prefer physical copies.
