It's gonna be another fun week for people with agendas.
For those who hate Nintendo:
Step 1: Laugh at the low sales
Step 2: After being pointed out that it's sold out, question if it's really "sold out". Use anecdote of seeing one available as proof. Amazon counts.
Step 3: Once Famitsu confirms the supply constraints, change scorn to "Artificial scarcity".
Step 4: Predict that if more supply was available they wouldn't sell because demand has declined.
Step 5: Conspiracy theory about how Nintendo keeps lowering the supply to make it seem more popular.
Step 6: Ignore sales altogether and speculate that Monster Hunter 5 will be on the PS4 exclusively.
For the Nintendo fans:
Step 1: State that it's sold out and you can't sell more than what exists.
Step 2: Say "Even Nintendo was surprised by how many they sold" as an explanation.
Step 3: Pretend the ridiculous supply is a strategy to hold more units for the big games coming up.
Step 4: Say "Factories can't magically make them overnight" (or 3 months..)
Step 5: Blame Apple
Step 6: Ignore supply all together and claim that Splatoon 2 will have an 80% attach rate.
For everyone else (both of you):
Step 1: Compare historical sales trends
Step 2: Graphs, lots of graphs.
Step 3: Wonder why people keep quoting

So you know, the usual.
