GameStop - SNES Classic demand greater than NES Classic, sold-out in 8 mins, more stock at in-store/online at launch

GN Version 5.0

Coming from GameStop Senior Merchandising Director Eric Bright...

"The amount of demand that we've seen on the website was certainly greater than the NES Classic when it first got out.
More and more people want it, and there were a lot of people that did not get an NES, so they're trying their hardest to get an SNES. We sold out in under ten minutes. I want to say that we sold out in 8 minutes."

Mr. Bright didn't know if GameStop would get more units to preorder before launch, but he did say that customers who didn't preorder will be able to get units both in-store and online on launch day. Looks like all hope's not lost yet!
