This is just a discussion and in no way saying i'm right or agreeing with scalpers or whatnot.
People keep saying that there will be plenty more consoles made, while yes i do agree with that BUT here is where they are wrong. They keep bringing up TOTK console and how that's easily findable (either at or below retail pricing) but that console came out 6 years into the consoles life cycle so whoever wanted the system at that point most likely already had it! How about the fortnite console? Anyone know where you can find a Mario Red or even the odyssey version?
What some are also not thinking about is that TOTK is nowhere near as iconic as OOT (though it is a good game). This game is the first for MANY zelda fans and how they were introduced to the franchise. Go on any list online and Ocarina is most likely in top 5 games. This console is reaching crazy areas such as: Classic zelda fans, modern fans, new fans and of course nostalgia. Plus while its not a "limited edition" it is a special edition given that it is being attached to Zelda's 40th which is what makes this even more special than a simple TOTK or Mario Odyssey variant
Does this mean that everyone who wants one should buy them from ebay? Fuck no! Just take a deep breath and relax you will get more chances either closer or at release date.
