Vote with your wallet. Buy it if you think what Nintendo is doing is okay, if this is how you want to be treated; the choice is yours.

That's fair - I'm hoping the thread is helpful though for those trying to get ahold of one and not have to pay over retail on any marketplace.

Why don't you just lie and say it's sold out either way?

Quote from BoastfulCaribou288 :
As a parent this looks exactly like the original switch. My kid had to have the new one with the fancy screen so now he has two switches. Isn't this the same thing all over again but they are charging more? I don't get the point of it.

To keep it simple, the Switch 2 is a more powerful console that will run games that the Switch 1 cannot. Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Kirby Air Riders are some games that will work on Switch 2, but not Switch 1.

Quote from PocketsThick :
I've been reading that these should be easy to get. A lot have been produced, demand is down, and we are heading into a recession. The Switch 2 looks like its going to be a repeat of the Wii U. Where Nintendo had to make price cuts to sell units due to poor sales in the beginning. It's so weird for them to release a console in June. Parents are heavily spending near Christmas for gifts.

Who says we are heading into recession? Was there any period that wasn't a recession for you people?

Quote from CrouchingCanine :
Haters gonna hate. I will try for one. Been thinking of getting a second switch. We never use it in handheld mode so I wish they made a version without a screen for a lower price. Worst case I change my mind and cancel the order or let a friend buy it off me.
The haters are also gonna try to get one.

I mean it's gonna sell out tonight, that's basically a given. Even if there isn't the demand among the average person, scalpers will pick up the slack hoping to make a quick buck (and return them if they can't sell it for profit).

Target instantly went from "coming soon" to sold out. They were never available. Then in-stock at 12:03 but I can't get through checkout due to incessant errors.

I waited in the line on Walmart, it's now my turn, I have 10 minutes and it won't add to cart due to an error. WTF
