I don't buy this, Nintendo are in the business of making money and have shareholders, they want to ship as many consoles and flog as many games/accessories as possible.

I won't argue they have a history of not being able to fulfill demand, but that's very different to imagining a boardroom full of experienced business men working out a plan of how not to have stock on shelves to sell to the public.

Well it happened with the NES mini very recently.

I would be extremely surprised if the tiny numbers they were putting out was the maximum they could produce

You may see this text under the description? They are still taking pre-orders for it from the looks of it.

Note: Please be advised that Amazon has sold through our allocation of Nintendo Switch.

Orders will be fulfilled in the order they are placed as soon as we receive further stock.

Ahh right, didn't see that, good spot, bet a number of folks missed that too and think they have it pre-ordered.

Yeah that is sneaky. Pre-ordered mine this morning, but no idea if it was before/after this warning! So no idea if I've got release day stock or not, pretyt poor system.

But, can't you just do that with the Wii U control pad anyway? Go gamepad mode, walk off to the toilet, come back and go back to screen mode? TBH I've never tried playing my U anywhere but infront of the tv and don't have many games so not sure if all or how many games can be played like that.

I like to move around a lot when gaming. That's why I like the Shield / Steam Link for example, I have these setup on 3 TVs in different "types of areas" to roam around to play PC games. So the Wii range doesn't quite work.

I like the idea of that with this, plus can't I also take it out of the house? Coupled with those mega billion mah portable chargers that would be amazing
 
I wonder at what point were the preorder allocations completed?
Actually Im quite psyched about this... It would be good to take this with me whenever I travel on business.

It looks really good - will be the surprise hit for the Switch I'd say as it has that easy pickupability factor that will be good when people are over.

I appreciate it wont interest the "hardcore" gamers though.

Yep I think so too, though the additional joycons needed for local play at whatever $80 translates to will probably be a factor.
