It's a Nintendo console so absolutely, at least initially.
First batch was sold out on Friday already on amazon.de
I think it will become a phenomenon. People underestimate the benefits of having a portable console.
I think you underestimate both the drawbacks of a portable console and the demand for a portable console.I think it will become a phenomenon. People underestimate the benefits of having a portable console.
Yes. Given Nintendo's track record, they have no fucking clue.Do you think we know more about SCM than Nintendo?
ya oiroland prices are ridiculous, it's as if Nintendo deliberately priced Switch out of competitionAt 330 merkels here in Germany, I can't see it setting charts on fire.
It will be sold out for at least 4 months, I guess. People should have no problem walking in the attire and grab one during holiday season this year.
Do you guys think there will be a Switch shortage at launch? If yes, when do you think the second batch will be out?
My guess is yes there will be a shortage, and the batch periods will be something like the Classic Minis.
It's Nintendo. Obviously there'll be.
Have a preorder placed at Best Buy that I've assured myself will get cancelled due to not enough stock.
As stated already, it's Nintendo
I find this frankly repulsive.
At launch, but by June it'll be Wii U all over again, and by December UK retailers will be sending them back and will probably never carry Nintendo hardware again.
The difference is that it'll be much easier to drop the price after a year this time around, so it needs to sell well enough that Nintendo thinks a price cut will give a good enough boost. Contrary to GAF's opinion, Switch doesn't have many of the major issues Wii U had that caused it fail, so even if it does poory early on it's salvageable, whereas Wii U needed to do well out of the gate to ever stand a chance.
Japan and USA, probably, but in Europe it's 30€ too much for that impulse buy.
Good thing about buying Nintendo consoles in a Sony land like Portugal is that I can just walk into a store day one and buy whatever I want without fear of it being sold out. I always feel like the only guy buying Nintendo games here.
No. Not at all.
I don't see the Switch selling that well until it builds a quality library. Kinda like a 3DS situation where after a price cut and many games came it started to sell decently.
I think Holiday 2017 will be interesting if Mario is truly relased. and the other rumors games are true.
Hmm. I guess my area didn't suffer from 3DS shortages. It was widely available after launching. As well as the Wii U.I was thinking about getting a japanese unit because it will be 240... but importing hardware is such a hassle if you are not in the country at the time you buy so i just said nah and preordered in europe.
At launch 3DS was sold out and nowhere to be found (with a launch line up that was really abysmal)

There IS a shortage already.
How big is this scalper business anyway? First I have heard of it being anything really significant (then again, never paid any attention to it whatsoever). Do they really account for a sizeable portion of launch sales?
It's sold out on amazon.deAt 330 merkels here in Germany, I can't see it setting charts on fire.
Specially since PS4 is having a tremendous line up this year.
Exactly, its sold out everywhere.
