Nintendo DS stock very low in Japan
By admin | March 16, 2010
Following weeks of record high sales numbers in Japan, Nintendo has acknowledged that the Nintendo DS is in extremely low supply in Japan. In a letter dated Heisei 18, January 5 (2006), Nintendo apologized for the low supply, promising a complete replenishing of stock by the end of January, with smaller shipments being brought in every week via airmail:
“We heartily thank those who bestow their patronage on our humble company.
Over the New Year season, demand for our portable game system “Nintendo DS” has vastly exceeded our predictions. It has gone out of stock, which we know has caused a great deal of trouble to our honored customers and retailers. For this we apologize from our hearts.
We will begin to ship our product by air mail, as this will help it get to retailers a bit faster. We are shipping product every week, but as supplies will not be fully replenished until the end of January, we humbly supplicate ourselves before you and beg your favor.”
