I went to go grab my Street Fighter anniversary box and one of the coworkers, not the manager mind you, told me that the store's probably not getting more than a handful. Is there some reason Nintendo is making so few units at launch?

damn I have no idea whats up with Nintendo with this short stock. Nintendo just got an overwhelming preorders from consumers and its a good sign that ppl are interested. Nintendo should respond with making more unites within the 63 day period 'till launch to meet demand or exceed it. I just hope it wont be the Wii all over again 6 years ago.

I wonder if they're trying to make a supply problem to increase demand.  Or rather, was the lack of Wii's a manufactured problem to creat supply and they're just reusing the same tactic?

I don't think so. They already know it's gonna sell no matter what. With a Mario  game at laucnh, Nintendo knows families are going to buy the system. With Black Ops 2 at launch, Nintendo knows core gamers will buy it at launch . They don't have to do a publucity stunt to hype up the console. What's interesting to me is that based on the video interview that I posted just right now is that Nintendo of America has to buy the units from Nintendo of Japan to have units sell 'em here in the Americas. You should watch the interview its pretty interesting what Reggie has to say. I think my reason for the low stock is because it is low in stock. They didn't make enough units right now or exceed their estimate unites to be made Or, maybe they are still tweaking the system to add more stuff like the optical thingy for the sound. I forgot 'cause ppl are complaining it diesnt have it on the Wii U. Nintendo have to step it up to meet demand.
