They were a limited edition.

Don't bother.

They area not limited. Nintendo are ramping up production as they under estimated how popular they would be. They only released a statement 2 weeks ago at a shareholder meeting stating more units are on the way and production rates will increase.

Haven't seen this reported anywhere.

Saw them going for 180 in Cex a while back. Madness.

They were never a limited run item.
They got a load of them into Argos last week.

The main thread in the Nintendo forum would be a better starting point OP

EDIT: Just noticed that OP is banned, never mind then

Everywhere, just use Google, 2 examples below there are many, many more. I have read the shareholder summary report PDF, it's on the web.

Daily Star? Not reading that rag.

TechTimes: Overblowing what he said.
It's literally 1 line in the whole PDF

Some parts require time to procure, but we are working to increase production.

Its happening anyway, why the cynicism. More stock is arriving in this country every week. Argos and Smyths just sold through their allocation the weekend just gone.

It's not a limited edition as some were to believe, 1.5 million sold and millions more to come. So there's no need to pay over the odd to the scalpers, it's still €60-65 and not a cent more.

It's not like Nintendo to make too few of something to hype demand.
