To be fair, Nintendo doesn't have many excuses this time around. From the NES Classic, Nintendo knows full well this was going to be a high selling item, and there should be no shortage of components. I think honestly this could outsell every "regular" system this holiday if Nintendo actually supplied it.
In this case I do think Nintendo is purposely under supplying a product to create a frenzy. NES + SNES era Nintendo is the greatest, they know full well by now people want this.
