I see two options:
1) "Sorry, misprice, everyone has been refunded"
2) Honor as many of the purchases as they can, based on current supply (highly doubt this one)
But they wouldn't block people from Amazon in either case. Hm.
TVs and gachapon tickets shouldn't really be compared directly like that because digital supply can be duplicated infinitely at no marginal cost, so it's possible to do option 2 and not really lose too much (only losing the potential for more purchases of gachapon tickets in the future). TVs does cost money to make and if Amazon does sell for less than what it cost them to get, that's real money loss there.
