I worked for a gaming store for many years starting in 2004 and I can confirm your statements about Nintendo. At the time I wasn't aware of other major companies creating false demand through gimmicks. Nintendo also creates false shortages and puts a lot of effort into making sure the public believes there are shortages of new products. Then suddenly, at the last minute over the holidays, our stores would be flooded with their products. It seems many other large tech companies have learned to create false demand through gimmicks - namely Apple. I should add that the automotive industry is now doing the same thing. They have been claiming chip and vehicle shortages since 2020 as they desperately try to maintain inflated vehicle prices. In the meantime, there are reports of remote lots full of new cars due to overproduction and repos are at historic levels. The trick is to release inventory as slowly as possible to prevent prices from crashing. The same can be said of the residential real estate market in the USA. Again, just gimmicks by greedy corporations to squeeze every dime possible out of the working class.
