Anecdotal evidence, but I have no interest in this product because I wasn't able to acquire the NES classic and have no desire to go through that process again.

  I think a lot of people are in that boat. I would have happily paid good money for a NES Classic from Nintendo (I hate supporting scalpers) but I am not going to hassle with running all over town or constantly refreshing webpages to see if a video game system is available. If the NES classic had been readily available, I would be excited about this. As it is/was, I'm with you. edit, to add: and I get the shortage at launch, but to not even manufacture enough units to even come close to meeting demand (which, I know, was unknown at the time) leaves an extra sour taste in my mouth.

    It's the combination of seemingly arbitrary shortage combined with scalpers that ruins it for me. When I finally found a switch the staff didn't understand why I didn't want all 3 available units. These are supposed to be fun things - not a gotcha here and there.

      It would be nice if stores would enforce a limit per customer on these. But what do they care?

        Sell up should be enough reason.

    >I am not going to hassle with running all over town or constantly refreshing webpages to see if a video game system is available. Especially when I can get significantly the same experience or an even better one with a Wii running the Homebrew Channel for no cost other than the Wii and an extra Wii-mote. Nintendo's competition here is straight up piracy, and they didn't even want to meet demand here.
