Stores still sold out of NES Classics

>Stores still sold out of NES Classics
>Nintendo Switch will be sold out for weeks after release

Why is Nintendo so fucking shit at distribution?

Is the NES classic still sold out? Fuck talk about striking while the iron is god damn freezing ice cold. What a bunch of retards

Yes, and retards are still buying them for 3x the price.

For people that have a lot of spare money, the difference doesn't really matter.

>NES classic available in every store in my country since it's expensive as fuck here
I wanted one but it costs ~$125 here.

Its intentional. Supply and demand, are you retarded?

if by supply and demand you mean keeping a red hot product out of stock for months at a time when they couldve sold 10x as many by now if they would just keep up with demand instead of releasing a wave of them every once in awhile.

People are demanding it but tendy ain't supplying it. Case it point, the NES classic. People wanted that shit since before Christmas. It's now almost March and the hype is most likely dead

>NES classic

if only they knew they could buy a raspberry pi and follow simple instructions to play hundreds of old school games, for less than $50.

>implying people actually care and don't just want something they can fuck around on for an hour and display on their shelves for "easy nerd cred"
I guarantee anybody who bought it just loaded up "marry oh" and died on the first level and never played again

>I guarantee anybody who bought it just loaded up "marry oh" and died on the first level and never played again

This is exactly my thoughts too. People who care about all these classic games already know how to get to them and play them.

My friend bought one and did basically this and threw a fit when I told him he couldve just emulated it on his TV for a quarter of the price.

Don't worry OP, you'll get get your consoles some day. Have patience and don't pay more than retail.

>Android phone
>download emulator and roms
>play any classic for free

wew, but it's too hard to figure how how to use a simple file manager so goyim rather spend $150 shekels on a shitty piece of nostalgiafag decor that loads up only 25 measly games

>Nintendo doesn't sell out
>lmao nintendo is dead!
>Nintendo sells out
>lmao nintendo is shit at distributing nintendo is dead!

What the fuck do you want

Like said. It's not actually about the games, it's about having the mini NES to show off to your "I'm such a nerd xD" friends

People have said for years Nintendo is absolute shit at distribution of hot products.

Do you not remember the fucking Wii or do you only care about shitposting?

Yeah, I'm sure a bunch of neckbeards know more about people who work in the commercial sector just because they've heard their leddit friend they wanted to buy one, which of course means at least a bunch of million of people would buy one.

That doesn't really work with a set price commodity where you get $0 on product resales. If you don't meet demand, you lose money. There's no benefit to Nintendo for under supplying here, all it does is feed resellers.

More like
>Nintendo sells out and can make mad bank if they make more but for some reason down and we all get super frustrated because they're business practices are fucking retarded to watch

The fact that they are still selling for 2x the price on eBay shows the hype is still there

>Its all a part of Nintendos plan idiot!
>Corporations are infallible and always know what they are doing!

The only real benefit of underproducing is that you're guaranteed to sell through everyone you've made (obviously unsold product means you're not making back the money spent on manufacturing it). That being said, there was pretty big buzz about these things ever since it was announced and they should have known it would have been a safe bet to make a lot more. Instead they are just enabling resellers and pissing legit customers off (maybe even driving some to emulation)

What's the base retail price again?
The NES classics is like 140€ here and I think it's a scalper price.

$59.99 USD

I get why it isn't actually good to create artificial scarcity but then why does Nintendo constantly undership inventory for practically fucking everything of theirs?

Retailers are probably refusing to stock up on their crap fearing next uDraw
