1. Not a stretch. All will sell. Have you not paid attention this year?
2. Demand spikes during holidays so using current availability as a measure is a bad indicator.
3. They didn't employ artificial demand. If you knew what that actually was and how it works, you'd know better than suggest it.

Anything else?

Yes, and they haven’t been sold out in months. If Nintendo is serious about increasing shipments, there’s be plenty of leftovers during and after the holidays.

I know exactly what artificial demand is, and it’s exactly what Nintendo did lol

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about

*facepalm*

Well, I guess I should have expected there would be some of these users left.

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