A few things.
-How could he say "Nintendo tends to" do something when it only happened with one console? If it only happened once, it doesn't qualify as a tendency.
-Did this even happen with the Wii? I still don't believe that is the case.
-This happens with most consoles these days. Even the PS3 and 360 had demand that was hard to fill at various stages of their lives. I personally couldn't find a PS2 in stores until April of 2001.
-If this is a valid strategy, why does nobody else get accused of doing this?
-Every console that releases gets outsold by the current successful consoles for about a year. The Nes oustold the SNES, the SNES outsold N64, the PS1 outsold the PS2, the PS2 outsold the PS3. That's how it goes. It's a 100% given that the 360 and PS3 will outsell the Wii U. That's how it works.
-Why didn't Nintendo do this with the 3DS?
-Creating an imaginary demand against the 360 and PS3 makes no sense. The Wii U is competing against the next versions of the Xbox and Playstation. They would want to sell as many consoles as possible.
-This is Pachter we're talking about. Why are we even wasting our time?
