Rapidly selling out, yet all the press was about people complaining the price was too high… huh
Yeah, the problem for Nintendo in the past was too much popularity. :^)
Starting at least as long ago as the Wii, the company had supply constraints that were worsened by scalpers.
I recall a news broadcast where a guy in Singapore or somewhere in that area (and his face was blurred out) had sunk every cent he could get his hands on to fill his one room apartment with new-in-box Wii systems.
He was sleeping along one wall, a sort of temporary corridor, with the door to the bathroom at one end, the efficiency kitchen at the other. He wasn’t the only one, and he was making a fortune. :^)
I had to laugh when the DNC anti-tariff talking points — part of the TDS family of talking points — included concerns about the impact on Nintendo’s rollout. :^D
My grandchildren said the price was way too high.
