>Here’s a look at Akiharabara Yodobashi this weekend. More than 3,000 people lined up in hopes of securing their own Switch system. The problem? Just 250 units were available.
>One person on Twitter said his number was around 2,600 when he was there at 8:27 AM. He speculates that the general number would be more than 5,000 and it might reach 10,000.

Why is it so much harder to find a Switch in Japan compared to the rest of the world?
>>

...because Japan has superior taste?

Damn that's crazy. I found one at best buy randomly a couple of months ago. I still see them in stock once in a while when I go shopping.

Japan just loves their exclusive limited edition overnight queue shit. Like that time 9000 people lined up to buy a special prepaid train card which only difference from a normal one was a different background image. Nevermind that you could buy it online literally the next week.

Is it the special brand of asphalt or the dimensions they use or how clean it is or how newly-put it often looks

And those narrow streets, it looks great there. If I had 2500 euros I would go to Japan.

Japan is just one of the top countries to live in and part of what makes that true is the fact that it looks very clean and is well maintained by both the government and the population.
>>
>>384250242
Japan is the land of soulless robots and it's only nice if you compare it to America. It has no variety in culture, in views, in art or architecture.

hi Kekistani citizen. How does it feel knowing you will never cross the pond?

>>384250939
Crazy prices? Are you fucking mad.

Everything in Japan is much cheaper compared to U.K. Or US.

A Switch with tax is 32,000 yen by itself.

That's £215 currently.

A standalone switch in U.K. At UK price is £280.

Fuck off.

Also OP Nintendo better get more units out before Splatoon 2 otherwise there will just be queues for days.

Splatoon 2 is out Friday.

Japanese are desperate for one. Even my Japanese LINE friends said they're calling like 50 different stores a day to find one.

>he uses a fucking Switch of all things to compare the prices
How about food, rent or utilities?
>>
>>384249538
The first reply is right, but also Japanese construction gets huge budgets and tax breaks from the government so they go full ancap on road making
>>
>>384251273
He's right about every except price, and in a general sense, cost of living is really high in Japan.

Me and my Japanese fiancé was looking at the total cost of a flat in Osaka. Roughly 80,000. Which is roughly the same as a flat in my UK city.
>>
>>384251783
Cost of living in the UK is high. Not saying much when both nations have an extremely high cost of living.

Both construction and train companies in Japan get good subsidies and encourage healthy competition.

Might have been in the morning. I got one launch day. Have not seen a single one in the stores not on pre-order. Still haven't used it.

Cost of living everywhere civilized is high, it is like the most bullshit statistics to employ. The only way to use is to point and laugh at 3rd world hellholes that has cost of living of 1st world nations.

So wages are appropriately high as well. You are DUMB.

It's actually too overdesigned. Also mobile phones have bigger priority for the factories.

Why are you lying? That's Osaka.

>>
>>384252317
It's not. Outside of Japan, everyone that actually knows how to look for one has one. What's left are the kind of people who have no idea how scarce it is and will drive up to a store to see if it's in stock instead of calling ahead and not wait for news.
>>
>>384251882
There's no use to wait in line. You just sign up between a certain time, then go do something else and come back later in the day to see if you won.
The big line started forming later in the day because there were just that many people who wanted to sign up. Person #1 didn't suffer from that yet.

Just seems weird, definitely have seen manufacturing operations on products more advanced then a shitty video game console. Doesn't add up, did Nintendo piss someone off on the logistics side of things?

Sure, if you don't mind paying extra for it you can get one easily.
Most retailers are making the thing extra expensive because they know how scarce it is. The retailers that don't do this are sold out ridiculously fast.
There's also the fact that there are two versions (grey and neon), and at least here in The Netherlands getting your hands on a grey one is just beyond difficult.

but my wages aren't high and I do live in a recently constructed house in a city of millions right beside a tech corridor. With a significant amount acreage I might add.

Credit mentality and moving out the day you hit 18 is mostly and american thing, and townhouse being big too. Most eu cities were not meant to accommodate that, especially in eastern eu when commie block was still a thing.

I don't have credit or mortgage I bought outright, also Late 20's. I get the eastern EU thing, but I've literally seen these nice ass homes in london, these perfect little neighborhoods, but only really old as fuck people seem to live in them. Why?

Do you think we have a spare £250,000 in our back pockets or something.

Houses are cheap in US because there made from wood and plastic and has no foundations or insulation.

UK is made of brick and mortar with a solid foundation and insulation.

A UK house could withstand a hurricane where as your US houses would be demolished.
