[QUOTE="Maxternal, post: 4329025, member: 288412"] You know, I kinda think the reason this didn't happen with the 3DS was it was Ninty who was actually selling them at the incredibly high "ambassador" price. On a normal console release (unless you reserve or wait in line) you can't find anywhere to buy one EXCEPT those who already have one and are reselling it at triple price. LATER, they get in stock and you can get one at normal price again. With the 3DS it was still you could only get one at a ripoff price at the beginning but later you could get one at a much cheaper price but this time it was Nintendo who walked away with the extra profit, not the resellers. It's supply and demand, basic economics. If the DEMAND is high enough that people will pay triple price for it, that's really what it's worth. If a store thought they could get away with selling it with a huge markup I'm sure they would. If they played they're cards right they'd still sell out (after waiting for all the other stores to sell out first) but they'd make bank on the deal. In that case, [member='matt1freek'] would have to phrase it this way:Either way, you would still be able to find one. You'd just have to pay top dollar for it. [/QUOTE]
