Why Is Fashion Retailer Urban Outfitters Selling The NES Classic Edition? Walmart, GameStop And Target To RESTOCK The NES Mini!
After Toys R Us' early Christmas bonanza for NES Classic fans, Urban Outfitters has announced that it will sell the NES Mini on Tuesday, December 6. The fashion retailer is the last place any gaming fans will visit to snag the hottest gadget in town but the company posted this good news on its Instagram account.
A company spokesperson shared that the retro game system will be sold online at urbanoutfitters.com. The clothing company's brick-and-mortar locations will not have the NES Classic Edition console.
Urban Outfitters is yet to provide a link on its website that will allow buyers to pre-order units of Nintendo NES Classic. To increase purchasing chances, consumers are advised to be online at midnight of December 5. The retailer might activate the order link on or before December 6.
Meanwhile, Walmart and Target have no stocks of the NES Mini yet. The latter announced that a new supply of the NES Mini console will soon be arriving at its stores. The retailer said that it is working to "meet guest demand, and will continue to replenish inventory throughout the season."
The NES Classic Edition is definitely this year's most sought after gadget. The retro consoles are technically wiped out in all stores. Huge demand has resulted in very limited or no supply at all at most traditional and online retailers.
Fans had moved to the online marketplace to secure the NES Mini. However, this console has become the target of scalpers and resellers who want to profit big. Priced at $50, the NES Classic is priced up to $200. Some items are even sold at $2000!
Meanwhile, GameStop locations across the U.S. are starting to receive more stock of the NES Classic Edition, according to News Every Day. This has been confirmed by the website Nintendoeverything.com, which announced that some stocks on hand are available since November 30.
