It'd be nice, but it would require them to go after the stores to limit it to 1 or 2 a customer and cut off the stores that won't do so (hint: I expect that wouldn't work with Amazon, at best it would be, "oh, so you want us to just not sell anything at all that says Nintendo going forward?" and that would be that), and that wouldn't do much more than slow some of the scalpers down. Or they'd have to deal with eBay and Amazon in terms of "this is what we want charged for these things, please bring all those sellers in line to that please." But it's also (technically) a luxury good, which is much harder to justify cracking down on anyway, they've got bigger fish to fry in terms of PPE and cleansers and keeping the scalpers from abusing the shortages of those to worry about some game systems.
