The release of DC Universe Online, Sony’s latest superhero MMORPG, has apparently caught them by surprise: people are buying the game like it’s cheap gas and it also happens that they love it, so their friends want to get DCUO as well. The result? All the retail copies have been sold and Sony is promising to fix the problem by delivering extra copies today.

According to their statements, DC Universe Online is Sony Online’s fastest selling game ever. Here is what John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment said on Twitter: “Working on out-of-stock problems for DCUO. It’s our fastest selling game ever. Should have more inventory in Monday.”

Also, he revealed that DC Universe Online is also a hit in the digital marketplaces, grabbing the top spot on Steam sales, which is always huge!
