no idea.

Target says to call your local store. I gave up after calling 5.

I got to the store before 7 am Sunday and was told they had given out all of the tickets before 5:30.

We can look forward to the same supply / demand Nintendo shenanigans when the Switch comes out next year ....

Yep. That's why I've signed up for every pre-order notification possible!

I think that depends on if it's a Wii hit or a Wii-U blunder.

Wii-U is the first time Nintendo flooded the market and it failed. The Switch is going to trickle out like the mini-NES.

HesCalledDyer · December 2016

It didn't help that most ppl thought the Wii-U was just a slightly better Wii, when it was actually a completely different system.

This is almost guaranteed. Nintendo dropped the ball bigtime on the Wii-U and the last thing they want to do is create more units then there are demand.
I hope the Switch is a success. As a frequent traveler, I'd love to be able to take that thing on trips with me.

They might overestimate (Wii-U) or underestimate (Wii) demand, but they won't artificially strain their supply. Show me receipts of Nintendo ever doing this.

In what way did Nintendo "flood" the market with the Wii-U?

Sony and Microsoft show no patterns that Nintendo exhibits. My receipts are my eyeballs and father time.

When the NES Classic was first announced, there were plenty of vlogs and blogs with articles suggesting that there'd be no reason for scarcity in supply due to hardware shortages because the chips used were both inexpensive and easy to manufacture. Nintendo created this bullshit themselves. It's not a conspiracy when NO ONE can find these damn things ANYWHERE. And when they do show up, a store gets 1 or 2! I've not seen anything like this since the Playstation 2, and dare I say this is much worse!
Nintendo had an opportunity to sell a fuckload of these things for Christmas and they failed immensely. Now maybe 5000 households will have one, and I'm willing to bet about 4500 of those households paid 2-5x retail to get one.
They did the same thing with Amiibos and they're doing it again with the NES Classic. So yes, Nintendo is trickling it out to create hype. Which is absolutely fucking retarded because people were going nuts when it was announced. They KNEW the demand was there and STILL failed to create the supply. It's not doing them any good and it's not doing consumers any good.

Seems like a great reason to boycott the product.

Don't even have to boycott it, Nintendo is doing that for us.

So, what you are saying is that there were no problems getting a PS3, PS4 or the Xbox 360 when they launched?
