What's the logic behind Nintendo not wanting to sell something that "costs them pennies to make", though?
-They don't like making money
-They like making their fans angry
-They want to create collectable
-They want _____?
I just don't know. They were accused of faking inventory shortages for the Wii, Switch, NES Classic, and now the SNES Classic. No such claims were made when they released the WiiU, DS, and 3DS. Maybe demand just beats supply sometimes. In the case of the Switch (for example), it's launch numbers are right in line with other recent console launches. Why single Nintendo out as withholding hardware?
With both the PS2 AND PS3, I couldn't get my hands on a console for months. I settled for competing systems (Dreamcast and Xbox 360, respectively) until I could get what I wanted. There were no conspiracies or intended hardware shortages. I just knew the devices I wanted were in demand and I would have to wait.
I don't have an SNES Classic but I'm confident that I'll be able to get one at retail for $80, eventually.
