I am bashing Nintendo a little bit. Especially after last year, they knew exactly how insane the demand would be for their system and they still only provided a relatively meager amount. I'm not a scalper, my man, I bought one for me and one for my brother and his family, and the only reason I was able to do that is Amazon juked out scalpers by putting their preorders under a differently titled sku that I happened to stumble across at 4 am yesterday morning after trying and failing to get an order in at Best Buy. Had I not just come home from Oxford and had a resulting wonky sleep schedule I wouldn't have had a chance to order one. Other sites sound like they sold out in seconds, rather than minutes.

It's an amazing product, and Nintendo is a great company, but I don't think it's controversial to say that they sometimes have problems with providing enough supply to their customers.
