Anger Mounting Over SNES Classic Pre-Orders

Is the entire supply available for preorder? Or is this just a bunch of grown men overracting like children?

Either way, every successful console sells out of their preorderable stock. There is absolutely no obligation that a company has to make sure retailers preselected unlimited numbers of stock.

I would let that statement slide but most of us remember what happened last year with the NES Classic.  You could not find it in stores ever after launch.  Most stores I went to when asked when the next shipment would come in had no clue.  So how was one supposed to effectively obtain one after launch?  Go to a store and wait outside every morning perhaps get a chance to purchase one before the few that ever came in were sold out instantly?
