It isn't like Nintendo has been in the manufacturing for 40 or 50 years. They are still new to this.

Maybe they should get Mattel to handle their distribution again?

Here's another great example of why Nintendo hates making money.
Press Start wrote:Nintendo website, Vooks is reporting that Australia won’t get any more stock of the NES Classic Mini. Last week, both Target and JB Hi-FI got their largest allocation of stock for the consoles so far, but if this report is to be believed, we won’t see anymore in Australia.

Vooks, which is usually on the money has stated the below:

“We’ve now spoken to multiple trustworthy sources and have been able to confirm that stores have been told there will be no more NES Mini stock to order and to stop taking orders / pre-orders for them if they were doing so. This might change in the future, but at the moment Nintendo won’t be shipping any more.”

I read something that said they only made the Mini to get rid of excess Wii parts and they've now done that. Seems crazy if they have stopped making the things.

A Nintendo representative provided the following statement to IGN:

“Throughout April, NOA territories will receive the last shipments of Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition systems for this year. We encourage anyone interested in obtaining this system to check with retail outlets regarding availability. We understand that it has been difficult for many consumers to find a system, and for that we apologize. We have paid close attention to consumer feedback, and we greatly appreciate the incredible level of consumer interest and support for this product.”
Consumer: I can't find a NES Classic

Nintendo: we listen to our customers, so we are going to discontinue it.
