Nintendo is more of a traditional toy company, with their Furby/Tickle Me Elmo artificial scarcity tactics, than a modern video game manufacturer. didn't they pull the same stunt with their amiibos?
by trickling out only a few NES's a week to even giant retailers, the only people who win this Christmas season (other than lucky legitimate buyers) are the scalpers and eBay, which is more than happy to take a cut of the racket.
