Tell that to the people who have been looking for Wiis for months or the ones that stood in line for hours months after launch or the ones buying them much more exspensively cause they are so rare (including me). Definitely looking out for the consumer by preventing said consumer from getting said console now and instead making him/her wait for the holidays because Nintendo wants big holiday numbers. |
Let me ask a somewhat different question: When a store like Best Buy or Wal-Mart takes shipments they receive during the week, and puts them in the warehouse, stockpiling them until Sunday, is this not for the good of the consumer? Should they immediately put them on store shelves the moment they arrive? What if they stockpile for two weeks? Three weeks? At what point does it become bad for the consumer?
