I dont get what you mean by this sentence... How would one know the demand of something like this? Preorders arent a good indicator...

They didn't allow pre-orders worldwide. Hell. Many retailers believes they are not going to ship anymore. How is that good? If they allowed worldwide preorders, Nintendo could have shipped the ones to meet pre-orders and leave a few ones on shelves.

There's no excuse as this is an intended practice as Raven has pointed. Zero excuses this time. Zero.

Yea but it is dependent on how they think it is going to sell to begin with... If they don't think its going to sell that much, they aren't going to order/make that much to begin with. They may have thought they didn't need to go through the trouble of having pre-orders avaliable everywhere due to what being the hardware is which is just a console that can play very old nes games which can be played very easily through many other means. I am sure the stores require a fee or something to make certain items avaliable for pre-order vs ones that don't so I say it is a cost cutting measure.

And I doubt they aren't going to ship anymore unless they really didn't think it wasn't going to sell that much and didn't order enough before hand.
