Nintendo NES Classic Edition Stock Update: Prices Drop Online; Nintendo Switch To Face Similar Problems In Shortage?
Blair GrantThe Nintendo NES Classic Edition is expected to resolve its stock issues following the Japanese gaming company's promise to deliver on the continued demand for the gaming console. While Nintendo may have already learned its lesson from the NES Classic, many users continue to believe that the Nintendo Switch may face similar issues upon its release in the market.
Prices of the Nintendo Classic Mini NES through online and third-party sellers have already dropped online, reports Express. The price drop may be due to the anticipation that the Japanese gaming company will soon be refreshing its inventory in retailers such as Target or Toys R Us.
According to the publication, third-party sellers used to offer the Nintendo NES Classic higher than $160 when the company underestimated the demand for the gaming console. Gamers who could not get their hands on the Classic Mini NES resorted to third party sellers despite higher prices.
As of writing, online prices for the Nintendo Classic Mini NES have dropped to $140 with some sellers offering bids less than $80. The company's American president Reggie Fils-Aime told Gamespot that they underestimated the demand for the gaming console, which led to a shortage in supply.
This made a lot of players wonder whether the company's new console, the Nintendo Switch, will face the same issues as the NES Classic. However, Fils-Aime said that the company will be producing 2 million units once the Switch drops in March.
"The one piece we can't anticipate is the demand side of the equation but certain from a supply, we feel like we're going to be well-positioned," he said.
The company is also accepting pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch, which will greatly help the company get an estimate of the demand for the new console. Fils-Aime was also optimistic that they have a "steady flow of hardware" available should the demand exceed their expectations.
