Yawn.
As for businesspeople, the only one I saw in the links posted was a GameStop guy offering his opinion on the Wii shortage.
In hindsight, the Wii crushed the competition by millions of units in 2007-2010.
Do we really think that Nintendo settled for selling 17 million Wiis in 2007, but really could have sold millions more had they simply flipped a switch? What would be the point?
"Artificial scarcity" was silly back then and it is silly now.
The only Nintendo related argument you can make here is that they're a conservative company that hates having products sitting in warehouses. That goes out the window once the product is already a hit though.
