mountaindewslave said: Nintendo dropping the ball majorly. The NES Classic and now this. They need to stop being so cautious, Nintendo should know how popular their IPs and systems are, especially around the holidays. It really wouldn't be THAT terrible to potentially have overshipped the 3DS, especially when even non holiday months it tends to sell okay. It says something when used 3DS's (like without the box and even sometimes early models) are selling for like 200$ on Ebay right now. That's crazy. A used loose 3DS selling like 20$ over market price of the current model NEW IN BOX 3DS that you would usually get from a store. Bizarro land |
But Nintendo only now knows what the Smartphone strategy can do for them in the upping of Hardware sales, so how can they plan for it like months in advance. Sure overshipping is not that bad on the 3DS part at the moment, but hindsight is always 20/20.
In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.
