Sooner than next year would be my guess. This is the same marketing game that has been going on since the original cabbage patch thing like 25 years ago.

The initial release is distributed short to build hype that they just cannot make enough of them, in this case supported by the various paid review sites being leaked clues about how one microchip is in a total state of under supply. But if you watch the market, shortly before X-mas, when every consumer sheep in the world has spent a few weeks stewing in how hard they are to come by, the other twenty million that have been sitting in a warehouse in Malaysia will be released and the stores will be flooded with them (about ten days before X-mas would be my guess).

By that time, the pre-xmas rush will be on and nobody will notice.
