I have went to several online sites such as amazon and the likes and they are totally out of stock on both.

I fail to understand why both companies would be so unprepared.
I am not getting one yet btw I was just curious.
Is it possible that they could be that stupid?
I mean one could say this is clever marketing by creating false demand but even that doesn't hold up in the real world.

Just thought I would put it out there as I am sure there are heads that visit the site who would know how this works.
I just find it totally bemusing tbh as they both knew the xmas market was upon us.

So stupidity or false shortage to create demand?
Your thoughts maybe.
