Stockpiling - The Debate is Over

[Grey Acumen]

I'll be honest, I'd be more impressed with what Sqrl did if it was something I didn't already know.
This is almost like arguing about abortion. Yes, there are cases where it needs to be done for safety of the mother and where a life isn't yet feasible to be taken, but if it's being done out of hand and as a substitute for responsibility, it's abhorrent. Everyone still ends up arguing the case as if the other side doesn't exist at all.

This is a case where Nintendo had been holding back stock in order to be certain to meet demand for the holidays.
I do not see this as Stockpiling, I see this as RATIONING. People aren't getting shot, riots aren't breaking out. People who are willing to wake up early and do a little hunting, or pay a few extra hundred dollars for someone else to do the hunting for them, usually are able to get a hold of one.

My definitions:
Stockpiling = holding back ample supply to incite riots over hard to find system that really isn't hard to find
Rationing = allocating limited resources to prevent riots over a hard to find system that really is hard to find
