It's not like you have master craftsmen in a remote mountain village building these things out of ground up baby dragon bones.

LMAO :lol:

I don't know what Nintendo's issue is to be honest. On one hand I can see maybe deliberately undershooting demand by just a bit so you're not caught with a bunch of inventory collecting dust on shelves. But Nintendo undershoots demand by so much that it is very difficult to buy their consoles through any channel. When you sell something for $60 that people are reselling for 5 times that amount (or more), and that goes on through the whole run of the product, you've waayyyyyyy under delivered on supply.

And it's not just the Nintendo Classic. Look at the 3DS. Not one online retailer has them in stock. The 3DS has been on the market for years but its been really difficult to get one for some time. Maybe Nintendo is trying to get people to buy a Switch or they're planning on releasing a new mobile console but it is stupidly difficult to get any model of 3DS right now.

It's nice to have hype and people waiting in line to buy your product. But overdoing it like Nintendo is means they're missing out on a LOT of money. Which hey, maybe they're fine with as long as they're profitable.
