If Nintendo supplied enough it wouldn't be a priblem. no one would want to buy more than 1 because there woukd be no resale market which only existed because Nintendo didn't make enough .

Outside of some really sure hits mostly in regards to games, Nintendo has been really stingy with production ever since the Gamecube era. Got burned big time because Microsoft ate a lot more of their marketshare than Sony's at the time.

Think it was only very recently they finally got around to adding another manufacturer company in order to boost their production. Even then it might be till the Switch's launch that the real increase capabilities ends up showing for them.

The hype for this thing was through the roof. There was never going to benearly enough, no matter how many Nintendo made. Stores need to pay better attention to demand for upcoming products. Years ago they used to be better at this, but now they don't even care. Just want to sell as much as possible as quickly as possible.

LOL, both sides pay plenty of attention to demand. Problem is they don't give a fuck because Nintendo purposely under-produces units and under-sells the number of units to each store, and Nintendo and all the stores rake in huge $$$$$$$$$ while outrage begins once their collusion gets exposed and they all turn a blind eye so they can continue their profiteering ways.

They're hacked so you can add up to 60 games now. Now I want one.

Their last two systems, Wii U and 3DS, were overstocked. That costs them money so they went cautious on these. Once demand was high, you can't just flick a switch and produce more, you have to book time in to the assembly lines in China.

WiiU was not overstocked at the start though. They lost alot of steam not having enough to match demand. I remember seeing a set up for it for months without any stock around it at my local Target.
