****Question for you all****

What comes first. Nintendo shipping a console or a retailer ordering one?

Answer that and you've solved the riddle to why the 3DS and NES Classic sold out without immediate restocks.

I don't understand what you're getting at, they should be shipping at LEAST over 40 to a store. Are you blaming the retailers for not ordering enough? I don't know but I don't believe that. As far as I know it's Nintendo telling them how much they are getting (at least Nintendo Classics)

I'm quite certain this is Nintendo's problem, but EB Games (America's GameStop) got FOUR consoles per store yesterday in Canada... Let that sink in for a moment. Four little NES Classics. Is that even viable 3 days away from Christmas? Why aren't they shipping 100's of these things? It's been near impossible to find one of these things for over a month. There's something wrong there. I refuse to pay $250 to some scalper that waited in line to buy his unit for $80 and resell it.

Sorry but I legitimately think this is Nintendo's problem. And I promise you this will happen with Switch too.

Well they outright said they're starting with 2 million shipment come release in March and will request more to be manufactured if demand increases. Plus I thought some people here have already counted out the Switch with all the latest rumors on its specs and ports alone :P
