Ask HN: Is Google playing the Walmart game?

This just popped up on my reddit feed:

I am genuinely curious to find out what everyday product and marketing people on HN may think concerning the relation between this and the Nexus 4 launch by Google.

Some comments on Reddit and YT mention how Walmart policy seems to encourage this kind of behavior.

In fact, Psychology of SOLD OUT rarely fails. Do you think spending time hitting F5 on the Nexus4 release made you somehow similar to one of those fighters?

Does HN really think the aurea of cumbersomeness surrounding first sells of the Nexus lineup effectively reveals Google load balancing inefficiency?
