This is pretty much the case for any game or console that "sells out", you can still find them at some smaller stores.
I've always said it would dominate Japan. Look it up. People made fun of me. Watch it happen.
I said the same thing. Where did anyone say it wouldn't be big in Japan, I'm legit curious? I feel like most of GAF thought it would be. Handhelds are bigger than consoles over there, PS4 has sold worse compared to PS3, while 3DS and VITA have sold very well.
Why the hell is this news OP?
Yeah, so I have no idea where they are getting their 15minutes information from...
ps4 had announced 2.1 sold through by december 1st 2013. thats only 2 weeks, and its sold through. Nintendo has been on record saying they plan to ship 2 million in the first 3 weeks.Nintendo is shipping the same number of Switch Consoles than Sony shipped PS4's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SEmO33srNk&feature=youtu.be
Artificial Scarcity from Sony?
Yes, its more than two games:
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/software/switch/index.html
- Zelda Breath of the Wild
- 1 2 Switch
- Dragon Quest Heroes 1+2
- Nobunaga no Yabou Power Kit thingy
- I am Setsuna
- Puyo Puyo Tetris S
- Disgaea 5
- Super Bomberman R
Didn't the wiiu instantly sell out as well?
This is meaningless without sales numbers. Could be 10, could be 10,000, could be 100,000.
Based on January feedback, they've said they can up the ante if they see how fast it's sold out everywhere .ps4 had announced 2.1 sold through by december 1st 2013. thats only 2 weeks, and its sold through. Nintendo has been on record saying they plan to ship 2 million in the first 3 weeks.
Not saying the Switch will do bad, but doesn't this always happen? I don't think it's evidence of anything
Splatoon 2 is gonna be so big over there. Shit, the Switch is gonna dominate Japan in general.
Super Bomberman R of course.A reminder that this is their launch lineup on day 1 since I was wondering what games they would be buying.
Why? Wii-u had splatoon/, PS4 is neck and neck with 3ds, switch is not a guarantee to lead in japan, at all. 3DS is not going anywhere for awhile, switch is mainly a home console, it is not going to sell like 3ds.
Here's the only thing you need to ask yourself: if this thing sells out in Japan and bombs everywhere else... Is Nintendo happy?
Now you know why nobody gives a damn about Japan. It wouldn't even be profitable, let alone a success.
I wouldn't be surprised if they allocated more units in Japan than in the US even if it sold out 3x as quick.

How is trolling like this allowed? The PS4 is not selling good and the 3DS has sold over 21 million units in Japan.
How is this relevant? It's pretty much sold out worldwide.
That was never going to be a question.So it has already outsold the Xbox One.

Japan is more than likely going to dig the Switch. Maybe not right away, but with Splatoon 2 I think they'll jump in.
Yeah, so I have no idea where they are getting their 15minutes information from...
The US had 400k allotment that sold out.
From the 18th of november to december 31st, 43 days, the wii u sold 3.06m. Things sell well early on. we need to see what the following months show
Remember that between december 31st and march 31st, the wii u went from 3.06m to 3.45m. So yeah, again, people need to wait
I meant it is Ahead of the ps3 at this point in it's life I meant, it is ahead of ps3's pace. Never said anything about lifetime.First of all, I don't know where you're getting your info from.
Earlier you said PS4 outsold PS3 in Japan. It hasn't even sold half.
Now you say PS4 and 3DS are neck and neck?
Are you just talking about weekly sales? If so, what's the point? Of course the PS4 is currently selling more than the PS3....I mean...duh?
It's selling about as well as 3DS, a system in probably it's last year of relevance. How is this an achievement? It's like 18m behind, only recently passed the Wii U....
A link to what? I'm talking about local stores. It's a shame your local stores are sold out, but mine aren't yet. I also got my order on Amazon too.
Online? Can you share the link?I got one just now. It's not sold out.
Why are you comparing 3 year old system to a 6 year old system that's on its way out? That's trolling.Trolling? WTF, Ps4 is ahead of ps3 in Japan, look it up. How the heck is that trolling? It is selling fine. This year PS4 and 3ds are neck and neck I never said anything about LTD sales. Jump to conclusions much?
Wait they get DQ Heroes on launch and we dont? why?
Sorry, I misread. I thought some of the smaller shops (many of which do online sales) still had some. Yeah, he might just be out of luck. I wonder how many they will have on shelves for launch?
There are enough Nintendo diehards that selling the first 3 to 5 million should be pretty quick WW.
After that though?
Nintendo consoles almost always sell out on day 1, it's all about the sales in the following months which I can tell you is not gonna be good with the release schedule they have currently.
Why are you comparing 3 year old system to a 6 year old system that's on its way out? That's trolling.
No worries! Your brother should keep looking around, no doubt stores still have orders available! Good luck!
True.. id rather wait a bit and see when its releasing but if I gotta import I willYou could always import. No region locks. They're also getting sweet Tecmo Koei Romancing the Kingdoms RTS'.
