To be honest, if any game had enough demand to run out of physical stock, it might be GTA6.

    Even then, though, I wouldn't trust preorders enough to do it. Stores love taking preorders, but they don't factor that in with the amount of stock they'll receive.

    I remember seeing posts from folks who lined up to pick up their preorders of big games like Spider-Man and Tears of the Kingdom on release day, only to get told by the store that they didn't actually have enough stock to honor everyone's preorder.

    Not saying it didn't happen. But I have preordered a small handful of games in the past, and never had that be my personal experience. One was even TotK. I feel like that speaks more towards that specific store's management than it does to anything else, personally.
