And no- it is NOT believed they are down to last stock- if you followed the China to U.S. shipping there was about 25-30k imported ...and if you look at the VCS store sales #'s of games... there is no way they sold anywhere near 30k VCS worldwide... as they have not yet hit a shown 40k games...and most people have bought SEVERAL games for each owner.
