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.

I don’t know how Sony operates, but my impression from the pre-order shops that I’ve talked to is that there will not be a supply problem with this product and how many cameras any shop receives for launch depends on what they order. For example, I chatted with a B&H rep late on the first day of pre-orders and he indicated I was about 3000 down the list but there was a very good chance I would get a camera on day one. Another shop I talked to indicated they expected to receive stock for all their 25 pre-orders, implying that they were ordering 25 units and expecting to get that many. This launch is a whole different story from your average supply constrained launch event. Ask your store of choice how many pre-orders they have and how many units they’ve ordered. It’s probably the same number. Only people ordering now after stores have most likely placed their initial orders with Sony might be in a position where they might get not get a unit in the stores initial order. Not because Sony doesn’t have enough, but because the store didn’t request enough.
