My in-person conversation with Sony USA reps say otherwise. To give you an idea, go online and see how many presentations Sony USA reps have made at B&H (in-store and webcasts). Then see how many presentations were made at B&H's competitors like Adorama. Sony isn't going to "starve" their other vendors but they definitely give a significant preferential treatment to B&H.
"rep" will tell you want you want to hear to make a sale
I know personally from distribution point of view, yes larger stores will get few more.
But we are talking about numbers like BH might get 100, Adorama, 100, Murphy, 70, Focus 70, Store B 50, Store C 50 etc...
BH will never get all 700+ that they filled up for pre-order on day one.
Whenever there is a huge release buying for the large store you will always always wait longer then anyone else, unless you place your order few minutes after they started taking the orders.
When Tamron 150-600 first came out, people were going crazy for that lens, me and a friend of mine we both made a mistake of placing the order from BH, 2 weeks later i got tired of waiting and started calling smaller stores, day later one of them called back that they got 2 of them in, so I bought one with free overnight shipping, and right of way cancelled the order from BH.
Friend of mine decided since I got mine, BH should be getting more any day now... they probably did, he got his lens a month later.
