Are the Amiibo & Gamecube adapter shortages strategic?

There is no strategic shortage and if there was then it would be a stupid thing to do. Nintendo just didn't produce many gamecube adapters.

Why do you think it would be a stupid thing to do, please elaborate...

Because they are losing out on so much potential revenue during the busiest shopping period of the year.
