LETS GOOOOOO
Wowwww this is way too cool
LETS GOOOOOO
I think they were just like, nah we'll put out this thing our die hard fans are going to love it... And then shit just hit the roof
Nintendo probably ordered 100,000 in total and expected them to sit on store shelves for a year. In this case I really don't think they anticipated the demand based on the number of other types of Retro sold.
Why wouldn't they just anticipate demand and make enough so that we don't have a Wii or Amiibo situation? Seems to be the most reasonable situation to me.
those numbers are based on how much traffic each store gets so it makes sense

Dude, were you even around when the Wii first launched in the United States? It's common knowledge that there were shortages months after launch. I would know because I could n't secure a system until January and that was with me checking my Gamestop every single Friday when the shipments came in. And no, I did not live in a rural area.
I'm not misinformed.

Hey guys, back from the nap.
Still two hours and a half to go.
This feels less clever than it probably was supposed to
Also would make no sense from a revenue standpoint... Stockholders would never let them get away with thatI worked retail in 2006. I know all about the Wii situation. I know all about receiving 50+ units at a time and every single one of them selling to customers within an hour. I know all about the NPD numbers showing the Wii crushing the other consoles in sales almost every month for four straight years.
The idea that Nintendo created artificial shortages of that console are so incredibly nonsensical, I don't even know what else to say.

I'm thinking between the end of the presentation and 1.
Good back to sleep, We'll wake you up when it starts.
There was no situation with the Wii Nintendo was making them as fast and shipping them out as fast as they could demand was just on another level compared to any other console in history.
I wanna watch the stream on either my Wii U or PS4, who's with me ??
Alright let's watch it on your Wii U when should I be over?I wanna watch the stream on either my Wii U or PS4, who's with me ??

Nothing like a good dose of metroid metal to get my hopes and dreams hyped up beyond repair.

Chances of there being a day one bundle with pro controller and game?
Super Mario Odyssey is too dumb of a name to be real
I have a hard time believing Nintendo couldn't get more Wii units to market. Yes, it was a hot seller but they have a history of underestimating demand. Wii, amiibo, NES classic...All I was trying to say is that I hope they anticipate demand for Switch and make enough so I am not running all over the city trying to secure a console months after launch.

you missed the point that he was making. he wasn't refuting the fact that there were shortages. there were. he was bringing up how many consoles Nintendo produced, lending credence to the fact that the shortages were not artificial and Nintendo actually had a shit ton of Wii's out in the wild they just sold like crazy.
Ehh I doubt it. I could see a game being bundled, though, but I think they're going to want to keep it simple.
I never said the shortages were artificial I just said I hope they make enough this time so that it's not a hassle to buy one. Nintendo has a history of underestimating demand and I don't want them to do that with Switch because I want to buy it, just like I wanted to buy NES classic but can't give them my money.
