Then please explain why there were less units available for the month of May compared to the month of April in North America? Nintendo is TERRIBLE at distribution, always have been. When you only release 200k consoles in North America per month it shows they never did a great job at pre-orders.

When they launch in other countries the supply has to come from some where!

Really? Because last time I checked when Microsoft did the same thing with the Original xbox they had to do the same thing, So did Sony with PS4. I guess you can't stretch your mind to go beyond planning?

Nintendo used to created artificial demand and supply issues all the way back with the original Nes. It's a well-known and undisputed fact in order to get more publicity and make the product seem more desirable. I guarantee this is the same situation. Same for Amiibos and the Nes and the Snes minis..

Nintendo is a terrible corporation and I wish they exited the hardware market while making their games third party for xbox and sony.

Knushwood Butt3221d ago

Yeah, the Amibo shortage was clearly due to a lack of cheap plastic in China. /s

"It's a well-known and undisputed fact..."

No it's not, but I'll patiently wait for your proof.

They are just haters. They hated on the Wii all the way to 100 million units made and sold. They CAN'T be reasoned with. You can't reason with hate.

If he had of read the article he would have noticed that Nintendo OVER produced two of their last consoles, and had to stop production of them because of OVER production. Which is proof of the opposite of what these hate boys are saying. You can't reason with hate.

Istolla3220d ago

I usually try to ignore it, but it's so annoying that people can keep spewing this nonsense.

You're right about the Wii. After it sold so well, haters claimed that they were collecting dust. The Wii had great games.

I saw a random switch at target the other day. I believe there is a shortage. The one made by Nintendo to build hype. These same people say psvr is hard to find to but there have been some at local electronics store for months

Neonridr3221d ago

Could you imagine how many units they would have moved already in Japan if they had stock. The money is there Nintendo. Do what you have to do to crank these units out. People want to buy them.

Fire Emblem: The Three Houses Review - Analog Stick Gaming

"When Three Houses was announced for the Nintendo Switch, I was more hyped for this than almost any game currently available on the platform. While its story doesn’t quite live up to the previous entries I’ve enjoyed, mostly due to some poorly handled reveals and its failure to offer us up a compelling villain, Three Houses succeeds greatly due to its vast replayability with new game plus, and yet another memorable cast to add to the franchise.
