I don't think that title is really fair. There is no evidence Nintendo is artificially limiting supply to create a shortage. They're just choosing to send the majority of their product to areas where they make a higher profit, which is good business sense.

The weakness of the dollar means this will happen more and more.

Exactly. It's damn arrogant of US based media to think that US is the one and only market area. Last I checked, Europe had this nifty economic area called European Union, which has a monetary unit that is stronger than dollar... Also, approximately 200 million more inhabitants than US. Even with Canada and Mexico combined with US, EU would still have more potential customers.
