The main chip in that thing is actually surprisingly powerful. Smart phones have really pushed things forward. :leon

Quote
If the chip works as advertised by Chinese manufacturer AllWinner, as opposed to being customized for the NES Mini in any way, then it includes a dual-core Mali-400 GPU which could be powerful enough to pump out as many as 55 million triangles per second (in its 28nm, 500MHz variant). There's also a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU, which has been clocked at 1.2GHz in smartphones, as well as 256MB of DDR3 RAM and 512MB of NAND flash storage.

1. Holiday shopping madness
2. Nostalgia
3. Desperate Nintendo fanboys

It's probably one of the best Xmas gifts because it's concise and everyone will get something out of it.

It's an intentionally short first run to build hype. There is NO WAY they're rolling into Christmas with a shortage on these.

If they're really this underprepared for success, the company needs to perish.

Yeah it seems like Nintendo does this with everything they release except the Wii U which was a failure. Definitely an intentional strategy.

They were doing this back in the nes days, even with copies of popular games.

You're not finding these anymore.

And now that they're a hot commodity online, scalpers are going to be hold their hard cocks in one hand while swiping their credit card in the other.
