IN line at a game store waiting to buy an item and a woman in front of me is holding a Wii U console package with MK8. Good so far. She gets to the counter and asks for 2 other games she could not find on the shelf...deal breakers for her due to the kids' specific asks. Nintendo Land and Lego City Undercover.
The dutiful clerk does a full inventory check...nope. Then he looks into online options. Nope. So he looks at the Nintendo eShop. Nope for Nintendo Land.
Lost sale. Customer buys a PS4.
A limited library and inconstant delivery of content is crushing the system. Death by a thousand cuts. In the era of $0.99 apps universal these oversights are inexcusable. There should be zero scarcity for any game on this platform.
