I don't get it. How does this happen? You can literally just order one online with no worrying about supply, even in my Slavland country.

This. Do people actually go to things like midnight launches and queue up for games, when you can just order online and usually get it before the release date anyway?

I always order online, and if I pre-order the game comes like 2-3 days before release.

I'm pretty fine actually.

>>384340954
Nintendo can sell 300 Switches and leave 2,700 people out as much as the want, but it's not going to get them ahead in the total consoles sold race for this generation.

If you can't match the demand with supply, you lose the console war. That's all there is to it

Not in the UK.

GAME are doing the same jew bundles Gamestop does, you cant just buy the console on its own.

Amazon are sold out

ShopTo are sold out of everything including their jew bundles

Very are taking pre-orders for delivery in SEPTEMBER

Nintendo's own store only has the Splatoon 2 bundle as a pre-order.

I have never seen a Switch available in a store. Luckily I have mine since launch, but the UK normally hates Nintendo products and yet you just cant find one anywhere.

>>384342726

Yawn... Flase flagging Nintendobro, go fuck yourself. Sony doesn't need nip land when they have the rest of the world. PS4 is dominating everywhere. Sony sometimes even dominates Japan.

Remind me again why I should care about 3000 gooks standing on line when literally thousands of people buy PS4's online everyday without the hassle? The Switch is dead.

i dont know if japanese people are as susceptible to jewish tactics like what i'm about to suggest but if the circumstances were perfect in a way that would allow them to transport a large amount of switches from somewhere that there's stock, there's a large amount of profit to be made scalping them to otakus

How many did the store have in stock?

They don't care.

I've a few Japanese friends who've been trying to get one since release, meanwhile here in Aus I could buy one on launch without a line, and you can still find them everywhere.....they've no interest in buying a foreign one.

Half the excitement for them is literally being lucky enough to get one.

>>384345965
good on them then for being able to resist the material jew

>>384347106

Firstly, you're an illiterate cunt, secondly, you're a fucking retard who apparently lacks any and all foresight and is completely ignorant of Nintendo's most recent announcements let alone their quarterly shareholder reports.

Mark my words, the Switch will sell better this Christmas as a result of all this bullshit than it would have had if it were a holiday release to begin with.

>>384340954

>go to random store at any given time

lel, I'm glad people here aren't complete retards

>>384347298
I'm starting to think that the Japanese just like waiting in lines. It seems like news stories out of Japan are 50 percent "We're scared of girls, and are going to be extinct in 50 years", and "This new electronic gadget just came out, let's all stand in line for hours for a chance to enter a lottery drawing, where we might win one".

>>384347414

>>384347414
>a console with a good reputation and an actual library will sell better during holidays than a new console with N O G A M E S

YOU DON'T SAY????!?!?!!!??

All this looks really strange to me in Russia where I easily can go to the near game store and just grab the switch if I need it.
No people play it here and need it though.

>>384347656
>>proceeds not to have stock for said demand
>not selling anything for 8 months its a common marketing tactic
again, where are your millions to back that up?

>>384340954
Neat, but if you want to get in data, the Switch hasn't even sold 5m.
By this point the PS4 has sold over 10m, so it's really hard to see the value if a couple thousand people lining up in Japan, especially after getting annihilated in global sales the last two months in a row.

>>384347779

Jesus christ you're fucking dense, google "Disney Vault" or any of the other prime examples of it, they've been doing this shit for decades.

The same circular logic with no hope of escaping it.

>>384348543
Nobody else is having issues releasing their products...
Nobody else is complaining about a parts shortage...

The only component they're short of is the SoC, because Nintendo failed to book enough time with TSMC in advance and getting fab time for the latest node at the last minute is essentially impossible.

I have the same monitor but my console are all plugged into a tv. How do you like playing console games on it? I know the DVI input is the only high MHZ input, but how is the HDMI input for games?

You got 3 monitors but do you use a television monitor or projector of any size for other multimedia? I sort of want another one due to the tate of the screen. It rotates really well but I don't like to rotate it unless I'm reading long scholarly journal for research work or photoshop in portrait.

I also forgot this was a switch thread due to seeing a similar setup.

The switch is pretty cool but I find myself playing PC at home more often.

this is so weird to me as an ausfag. I can walk into literally any store that stocks game consoles and just buy one of the multiple switches they have in stock.
