I spoke to the dealers I bought my M8, M8.2 and M9 from. I ordered an M(240) 
last October. Neither dealer had had a single camera to sell yet.
There are a few possibilities I can think of for this:
Much greater demand than expected.
Production problems.
Component variability leading to out of spec cameras having to be re-worked.
Selling only in markets with the biggest margin/growth.
