Didn’t stop Sony with that ps mini lol soon dropped in price, I can’t see the pce selling loads in Europe it wasn’t hugely known unless you were reading import mags or you lived in certain euro countries like France where it had a huge following. I’m gonna say it will drop reasonably soon on amazon uk in japan not so much as the pce even managed to go against the famicom quite well.

The MD Mini is still widely available everywhere and it isn't harsh to say that. It is a fact.
As for Nintendo's Mini consoles being plagues by factory shortages, I think we all know that it's far more likely that Nintendo deliberately underproduced them to artificially engineer hype and demand for them - a tactic that Nintendo have employed many, many times over the years.

Originally posted by samanosuke View PostIt is widely available, you’re right, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t sold/is not selling well. As we can agree, whether by circumstance or design, supply of Nintendo’s Minis were limited, and this helped create demand, fervour, and scalping on eBay. Perhaps Sega chose a different strategy and manufactured in large enough volume to more than meet demand? The fact that it’s still mostly selling at RRP (okay, £6 less on Amazon, but Amazon are always below RRP) and we’re not seeing a fire sale a la PS Classic suggests there is decent run rate on it if nothing else.
Sega making X amount of these is a moot point - these things aren't expensive to manufacture.
Also, the fact that all is quiet on the western front where the MD Mini is concerned is pretty telling IMO, and there's always time for it to drop even further in price.

Very disappointing, and unfortunately probably not the end of the hardware delays we'll see this year. That said the news was sat on clearly. I assume because they wanted to announce with a new date and therefore delayed until the last possible moment.
