This is actually an old accusation of Nintendo going back to the original NES and it's cartridges. The truth then (and likey today) was that demand is hard to calculate and supply costs money. Nintendo I'm sure greatly underestimated the demand for NES Mini convincing themselves that 'nobody wants to play classic games today but what people actually want is new games with our characters and bits of nostalgia put in'. They were wrong of course as evident by NES Mini sales versus that of Wii U sales.
