Sure, but they would make more money with more production.

Think about it this way - if you knew something was always going to be available, any time of the day... it kind of diminishes your urgency to buy it, right?

I think it's an outdated policy, like waaay outdated and mostly in response to the overproduction of the early 1980's that hasn't been a threat in decades. But I can see the merit of acting in this counter-intuitive way for building brand value, on occasion. But at this point Nintendo has a pretty high established brand value (especially in comparison with how small the company really is) and they don't have to keep pulling stunts like this.
