Then they probably produced millions but it still sold out whether it be bots, actual customers, or what not. how much in the millions do you think they should've made?

Not trying to sound ignorant or dismissive, just trying to get an idea of how it works. Not saying Nintendo isn't in the wrong, but there's usually more to it. Guess saying it's a holiday item doesn't help matters as demand goes higher even if millions are made.

They probably only made a few million for launch but will probably continue production for a little into next year like they did with the NES Classic.  The thing is like others have said they got burnt bad on the Wii U stockpiling so they are more inclined than ever to make sure they never overproduce.  I believe they need to gauge demand a little better but there is always a fine line when it comes to manufacturing.  Companies never want to stockpile too much unless they are certain the product will sell and be in high demand for some time.  The preorders selling out instantly should be a pretty good gauge that there is high demand. 

They already said they will not be making them beyond 2017.
