People saying this will drop in price within 6 months should take some time and look at the price of the Wii U still LOL

HEAT for this deal on the nations most exciting console at the moment.

Probably people dropping pre orders

Because they like to create artificial high demand for their products and it's a sure fire way of maintaining interest and customer desire for a much longer period than if they simply dumped a lot of stock on the market on day one.

If there is only a small allocation of Switch or NES mini for the launch, they are guaranteed to sell out regardless of what the average consumer thinks of it as the die hard fans alone will eat up all the stock and be hungry for more. So it is guaranted to sell out simply because there are far fewer consoles than people who want one. It selling out doesn’t necessarily mean the console is a huge success in reality but it looks VERY good if it does. Nintendo know that selling out makes it look like the system was successful and they can see “gee see how amazing our console is its all sold out and we can’t ship them fast enough” Of course a company Nintendo’s size could easily make far more of the product, especially a simple product like the NES mini that is just a Nintendo approved emulator and a few roms in a little box but they choose not to, instead drip feeding a few units here and there so it will always sell out instantly and look like a massive success.

While overloading the market like Atari did in the early 80s is a bad practice too, Nintendo definitely take it to the other extreme. Personally, I think being stingy with the stock is a very bad practice and hurts the long-time Nintendo fans who will go to auction sites and third party sellers for the system often paying over twice rrp….

Voting hot. Pretty much RRP but stock seems scarce for day one. :smiley:

Considering it has been sold out for a while where did Game magic this stock from?

It's a step in the right direction but if you preordered elsewhere then you could buy the two seperately for the same price.

Any red and blue with zelda

No,

got £60 worth of rewardspoints.....hmm tempting

Gotcha, why do Nintendo continually short stock, looking at you Mini NES and various Amiibo's.

Last time I added up £279.99 + £59.99 that came to £339.98 so that's a saving of £20 not sure where the LiamSmith78 few posts above went to school.
