When a console is being scalped, you know it's the next hottest thing.

Who would buy those and why? Why not place an order for a second shipment?

Nintendo likes it this way.... thats all there is too it.

Sucks for the costumers that wanted to buy it at the price nitnendo intended, but nintendo dont care if they sell them to scalpers that then sell them on at a higher price. They make their money either way. This hurts the avg joe type that just wanted a NES at a fair price.

Emulation is destroying the game industry! No one pays for old games anymore! This is just propaganda from the piracy lobby!

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Sadly there has been many.I dont have the links now, but there was a thread talking about this and people buying the NES mini for 750 dollars.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

This is nothing new. Nintendo intentionally does this. This is Amiibo and the Zelda 3ds all over again.

It is a great way to constantly get press - at the cost of your customers.

True that it's nothing new, and I think we were all sure that the NES MINI would be in high demand, higher than past retro console releases. The impression I got was that it was almost as if it was a start of a new console gen and "everyone" had to get their hands on this new tech. But we know it's not. Hell, buying all the same titles that are on the Mini downloaded to the original Wii is far cheaper than what the Mini has been going for. But I'm thinking too practical.

I knew someone who bought 5 PS4s and 6 X1s at launch with the intent to scalp...I laughed so hard when the PS360 scalping situation did not repeat itself. XD

As for the NES mini, people will do what they want to do. I would just wait for the next shipment but whatever.
