Because some people several times waiting in lines and didn't had much to get lottery ticket for buying Switch, so if they relly want Switch but dont want to pay $100+ above ofical price, it can be frustrated and of course you will always have some people that overreact.

Thing is, there isn't an alternative ... and even if one is being developed, it won't be out for a long time. People can throw a fit but it's not going to affect lifetime sales much at all. Lol, I remember when Switch was "revealed" at the January conference there was the guy with that Roadhog avatar who kept saying "Guys, i'm telling ya! My friend in Japan is saying that the Japanese are laughing at the Switch! They think it's a joke!" |
Eh, it's not like Europe is overshiped, actually even if supply is much better in Europe compared to Japan and US, Europe still dont have regular availability in most markets. So if they do that soon we would had shortages in Europe also.

Yeah, man. The shortages happen.... because nintendo is so incompetent...I meant because nintendo has a hard time predicting demand.... that they haven't figured out how to not have to shortages since the NES. There's no way nintendo is using scarcity marketing to help sell their products..... even though they do timed sales, limited run products, limited special editions of products, had repeated shortages over a wide range of their products and...... turned digital DLC (no shortages because it's digital) into toy-like figurines that give you access to exclusive DLC which.... somehow had shortages all the time. gul·li·ble (gŭl′ə-bəl) adj. Easily deceived or duped.

After Wii U failed where they overproduced and overshiped Wii U units, and because that later they didnt could have Wii U price cut if they didnt want to selling it at huge loss, of course they will be more cautious with their predictions. If we talk about their main products, last few generation they had shortages only with Wii and Switch, and both were selling better than was expected.
