Hence, Nintendo's leaving money on the table. |
I was going to say about this. Plus, the device at 299$ would still be a fair price when you compare it to the other portable media device. Personally, I was expecting and willing to pay 299$. They are surely leaving money on the table since they cant meet the demand. They could as well start it at 299$ and lower the price afterwards when they are able to meet the demand.
They really want to play it safe and benefit from the word of mouth associate with the "low" price.
