I'm curious about the 'scalper' claims some people are making. You DO realize that, unlike the NES and SNES minis., printing and cutting cardboard squares likely doesn't require nearly the amount of manufacturing resources, right? Heck, the announcement video even shows us how it's mostly just a die for stamping the desired design.

Stock isn't nearly as much as an issue with this much easier to produce product, so why would anyone try to scalp something that's going to be readily available at release? It's not like it's sold out on Amazon yet despite both being at the top for half a day.
