No it isn't. Every buyer that has to resort to a scalper or loses interest cos they couldn't find one is a lost sale for Nintendo.

They got thier money for that system.

And lost money for the games that the potential buyer didn't get because the system wasn't available. Sure, the buyer can get those games down the road, but by then, the buyer may have acquired the game on a competing console or lost interest in the game entirely. Not to mention the fact that publishers care about early sales of games more than anything. A publisher, Nintendo included, would rather you buy a game at launch than a year later.
