Very true (it was embarrassing how many times I had to look for both a Wii and DSl at retail before finally finding one), but considering that you only have to find one once... it's not really an issue unless they're being scalped by resellers as though they were limited run items.
That was actually the reason why I pre-ordered a 3DS despite the lack of any games on launch I wanted to buy. The 3DS became the "portable SFIV" handheld until I sent it back to Nintendo to fix a factory defect speaker.
In retrospect, the 3DS was not worth the $250 I paid for it, but once the games I was planning on buying are released, I'll have the hardware on hand to play them and it will seem like a better purchase. Of course if Nintendo is forced to drop the price to $199 or resort to aggressive bundling (free stuff always good) before or right around the same time those games come out... well, guess which guy with two thumbs won't be pre-ordering a Nintendo Cafe? :: this guy ::
