The whole point of these types of limited edition items is that the company controls the sales number and make them seemingly more rare, yes they can always make more, however, what you have to understand is that they don't always want to, even if people are willing to pay. In this case Nintendo actually doesn't want to make too many, it's an emulation box for crying out loud, with Nintendo's IP in it... they obviously cannot allow for some insane mass production on these, so it ends up more like a pumpkin spice latte, limited release, here for a month then off the menu, will be back next year, that sort of thing.
These are rare because Nintendo can't have a bunch of emulation sitting at Target that plays Mario, it's a publicity stunt not a money making machine. They'll end it when it gets too crazy and bring it back when it's too quiet, but the stock will always remain low, that's the key. Flooding the market is a suicidal cash in, they'll do that after filing for bankruptcy like Atari did, so not anytime soon.
