It is an interesting topic. I remember when the Wii came out and it was really hard to find one. We ended up getting one at a Target while on vacation in CA. They had just stocked 5 of them minutes earlier and we were there to get some things for our vacation and when I saw they had one I got it. A few months later a retailer told us they had warehouses full of them but they were told they could only have a small amount at a time as they were encouraging that demand was higher than supply which caused those who were on the fence to jump to it with the notion of if it is hard to find it must be good. I can also tell you about a unit of hardware that is supposedly sold out and impossible to find. The company officially had sold out on their site but we were told they had multiple models in stock and we could buy some direct from them.
