I think it depends on the CM.Maybe its a seperate ticketed event?
I got to do my Banshee Pledge on opening day. The feels, dude. lolWhat happened to the oath? I thought there was an oath that you took, then they showed you how to use his controls? Did they only do that for the previews?
Its not the only reason, but its definitely part of it. If the land had opened without being tied to an IP but featured the same theming and attractions, how much different would the reception be? And there wouldn't have been 7 years of people saying it was a bad tie-in.
I'm not sure it even works for Nintendo. They're losing goodwill fast.
They have something that no one else can offer: The Nintendo first party properties.

They'd be exponentially more profitable if they had any clue how to sell their products. Most tech companies use their hardware to sell their software (see: Apple, Microsoft, Samsung) because software is much more profitable, what with zero marginal cost of production and whatnot. Nintendo does the exact opposite, using their high-margin software to sell lower-margin hardware. It's completely backwards. When software is your core competency, be a software company. If they put Breath of the Wild on Xbox Live, the PlayStation Store, and Steam, they could sell 25 million copies at $100 a pop in about a month.
Mini owls, Pygmy Puffs, rats, or toads...Sooner or later the Wizarding world will have adoptable Shoulder creatures that will cause them to have a huge inventory of Banshees back on the rook...

Regular sized owls and cats would be difficult to maneuver, but the others would probably sell like hot cakes.
If Uni decides to acknowledge Fantastic Beasts, add Nifflers and the twig creatures (forgot their name) to the list.Baby Norwegian Ridgebacks....
Various sources have reported that The Rookery inside WindTraders ran out of their stock Banshees. This occurred only 5 to 6 days after Pandora opened to the public, and they had sufficient stock during the passholder previews! I believe this must be due to popularity. Sources also say they expect a restock in three weeks or so.

is windtraders also selling crow for people to eat or is that sold out as wellSomebody was on here the other week laughing at those who said they thought Avatar merchandise would sell, not heard much from him since
Since I only "like" Mario and Zelda, there is no way that just those games will make me ever buy another Nintendo syste. Throw them up on Xbox Live and they would be an insta-buy.
I could care less if MS released the next Halo game on PS4 and Xbox, why should this be any different?This would be akin to Disney licensing their characters for use at Universal. Are you also a proponent of that?

The purpose of a corporation is shareholder wealth MAXIMIZATION, not shareholder wealth good-enough-ization. They should do the thing that makes them the most money, not a thing that makes them am okay amount of money.This is a strange argument to make, because its hard to bash a company that basically has no 'real' issues. Supply constraints, sure, either on purpose or by design, but they have no problem selling their software or their hardware, and one of the most loyal fanbases around.
Would they make money if they made their games available elsewhere? Of course. But they make money now, and they control everything. So why change what isn't broken?

You're also incorrect that everything is rosy in Nintendoland. They were in seriously bad shape not three years ago.
Its not just Pandora. The movie Moana is severely under represented in merchandise in the park. A CM at the Poly said that they sold out of Moana stuff almost immediately and they were not geared to make a new manufactering run fast enough. The CM said its kind of embarrassing when you have little to no Moana merchandise to sell in Moana Mercantile.The difference with Nintendo is that they can afford to not care. They have zero long term debt, and probably no debt at all again after the Switch. So while people may get upset about the Switch not being in stock (same as with the Wii, the NES Classic, and the New 3DS), it will eventually blow over. They have something that no one else can offer: The Nintendo first party properties.
Disney has a similar thing - you can't get these experiences anywhere else, so they can basically do what they want. Running out of stock on something like this should be unacceptable, but look at all the Limited Edition items they sell for special occasions and don't order anywhere near enough of. That should be unacceptable as well.
