Yeah, I heard this quite a bit already. When I picked up mine on release night at Kmart Burwood they told me they had only 12 consoles (half black/blue). Want to know how many sold right after midnight? 7
Jbhifi Swanstone St told me they only got 20 in. Big W online sold out 24hrs before launch.
Im thinking Nintendo spread the few consoles Australia got across many retailers, and thats why theres been so few at each store.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
