Posted by exodus on November 08, 2017 at 16:56:12 EST in reply to I saw a Switch in a store once. I hesitated...glad I was trigger happy that time I saw a WiiU. This not being able to buy consoles thing is really confusing me. Target had SKIDS of both NES and SNES at the same time when they were current. It seems like that’s a thing of the past now. I don’t remember a time in console history where just getting the damned machines was such an issue for so long. I understand the Switch shortage because it’s new. The Wii U, the NES Classic, and SNES Classic were all scarce though. I’m sitting here with literally hundreds of dollars they can have if they can manage satisfy the demand of people who need 12 of everything first. If I miss an entire generation of Nintendo because I won’t pay $$$$ or wait outside of TRU at 5:30 am then am I still a fan? (n/t) from SignOfZeta.
You had a different Wii U experience than I - around here there were just stacks of them sitting in target, getting discounted the after a couple months. Because of that experience Nintendo made fewer Switches - I think the joycons are also complex to make, and those tegra chips had to get remanufactured? Like Nvidia had a bunch to dump, but then the demand caught up and they hadn't made more. that's my perception!
