Well, that's kind of the norm with consoles and any CE that spans regions. It's understandable that each region is going to have a certain number made. So technically if there are 1000 in existence, yes, there are 1000 of that particular item, since there would be 1000 NTSC-U copies, 1000 PAL copies, etc.

Obviously it's not going to be on par with something like the Dead Space Ultra Edition, where it was only released for ONE region. On the other hand, this edition looks MUCH more impressive than the DS:UE. When the DS:UE came out, you wouldn't believe how many people were seriously saying "Yeah, what the hell's the use? That's an overpriced, chintzy edition with a nice box. That's it." It's nice, but it's not very impressive at all; it's just rare.

Hopefully this one is at least limited to a few thousand in each region. There's a difference between something being "limited and numbered" and actually being limited and numbered. Look at the CE guide for Final Fantasy XIII-2. Oh snap, it's limited! ... to 250,000 copies. Limited, right.
