Nothing beats this: The Super Famicom was released in Japan on Wednesday, November 21, 1990 for (US$210). It was an instant success: Nintendo's initial shipment of 300,000 units sold out within hours, and the resulting social disturbance led the Japanese government to ask video game manufacturers to schedule future console releases on weekends.
So these game analysts get paid to say there will be shortages at launch weeks after it was announced the consoles were sold out at major retailer...damn where do I sign up?
