The thought of Best Buy receiving a mere 4 Palm Pre’s per store is quite mindboggling but luckily Sprint has stepped in to comfort us a bit.

The Boy Genius Report has quoted the wireless carrier as saying:

At Sprint, we’re excited by the response to the Palm Pre, but what’s been posted is pure speculation. Because of the Pre’s popularity, it’s likely that initially we won’t be able to keep up with the demand for the device. If that happens, we will work diligently to ensure that everyone who wants a Pre can get one as soon as possible.

So yeah, don’t expect the Palm Pre to sell out like Nintendo’s Wii did when it first hit store shelves but chances are if you’re looking to purchase this phone you’ll probably have to do some shopping around.
