Nintendo may have failed with the Wii U, but they have proven that they still know how to drum up demand for their products, as previously seen with the once near impossible to find amiibo. Their latest product is the NES Classic Edition and most everybody is disappointed by the lack of stock at launch, including even their competitors.
This is definitely setting itself up to be one of the big commodities this holiday season that people will be searching for, including those that work with Xbox. Microsoft Studios Publishing GM Shannon Loftis took to Twitter this weekend to express her disappointment in the stock.
“irrationally angry at not being able to get the NES Classic. Come on, Nintendo. Why would you short-bake these??”
This is not in any way a case of Xbox representatives trying to start something with Nintendo, but rather just one expressing their disappointment like many fans. Regardless, this just shows how excited people are for this item and makes it very possible we could see follow-ups in the Nintendo Classics line moving forward.
