Remember the Wii? Nintendo has a history of under-producing high demand products. I used to think this was to feed artificial scarcity into the market and drive sales, but I now wonder if they simply refuse to upgrade their manufacturing to realistic capacities.

Nintendo consoles are made in China by Foxconn.

They aren't turning them out on the same machines they used to make karuta cards-- the manufacturing capacity Nintendo always had in Japan.
