I have these musical obsession bouts where I am all about a very specific genre for a while and then move on to the next, which may be something I’ve been obsessed about before.

My current one is music like Sohn, Zola Blood, Ghostly Kisses, TENDER, Maribou State… I might be missing some but these are the main ones.

This message gives me several thoughts.

• A company like Nintendo easily has the means to predict demand more accurately;
• Chip production will be stained to meet high demand;
• Saying it’s in high demand will drive up demand, now that people will see it isn’t available and everyone in Japan seems to want one;
• After the launch, some were skeptical about the console. I wonder if this is an action taken to mitigate lower sales.

All in all, this ‘apology’ seems more like corporate strategy than anything sincere.
