I bought TR3 today ...

..(Sunday) at 2pm. The display rack was about 1/4 full or less. I guess it would hold 200 to 300 games. (just the empty CD cases in the display.) I spoke to one of the guys in the store. He said that the rack had been full, when it was put on sale at 5pm the previous evening (they close at 8pm I think).
He also said that though they would normally hold a game over the phone for later payment and collection, they were not doing this for TR3 because they were getting so many calls asking if it was out yet, and asking for copies to be reserved, that they were just selling to personal callers.

The store is Staples, which is similar to Office Depot in the US, so not exactly the sort of store you would expect to be a first choice for games buyers.
