Forums - Nintendo Discussion - John Stossel does piece on Nintendo: do they manufacture shortages? Is it good for children to play?



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

As with most corporations we'll never know. It's either malice or incompetence, both of which are bad for the consumer.



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

"do they manufacture shortages?" - of their consoles? I don't believe so.

Of some Amiibo and Nes/Snes Classics? Probably.



That Peter Main guy seemed pretty genuine to me and not like he was lying through his teeth.



Considering how it happened with Wii and Switch and that in the case of Wii they took over 2 years to correct, yes I'm pretty certain they "manufactured" it.

The Wii, Switch, and DS....no. Amiibo, classic systems, and some of their software...yes.



Looking through the comments, I doubt many watched the video =P

I'll never forget when Dave Schultz slapped the shit out of him.

Gotta post that =)

John Stossel seems like the original baby boomer that shits all over the culture of late-gen X and millennials. So THIS might be fun for some of us:
