So it's DOA? I live in NYC, Nintendo games usually sell out ASAP. What gives? Is Nintendo Finished?

I'm still waiting for amazon to ship my arms preorder.
and they haven't sent splatoon 2 yet either. It's really weird.
>>384789659
Sweetie, they shipped tons of copies of Splatoon everywhere. They even held back console stock so there would be enough in stock with the release. Splatoon is huge. Arms probably shipped 10 copies to each store. No one cares about Arms.
I'm gonna be curious to see the numbers sold. Of course they can't sell to people who don't own a Switch, and people are struggling to find one, although its easing up a bit.
Personally I downloaded it from the eshop, and the eshop was being all kinds of fucked up and slow the night it released and the following day for me, so I assume that meant it was experiencing a heavy load.
Were there any Switches in the stores?

I saw a guy pickup a grey one at BB inCanadayesterday. But he was only getting Zelda with it.

Pretty simple;
>advertise the Switch a ton
>get supply issues so people can't buy it
>release new games for the Switch
>no owns or are able to buy a switch
>games don't sell
FUCKING REPLYING TO BAIT WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH /v/ REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Well, it just came out. I'm guessing people who owned a Switch preordered the game instead of going to a store so they can play it on launch day.

Once the Wii U crowd buys their share, demand will sharply decline
>>384789659
No Splatoon appeals primarily to the demographic that have a WiiU AND played and enjoyed Splatoon AND managed to get a swtch so I can see why it isn't flying off the shelves. ARMS has been stocked for a while now so any places that don't have it probably just burned through their initial shipment.

you are unironically delusional
>it's a sperg blogging about how he went to the store episode
>>384796145
top kek he really believes that
Are you seriously asking why a game released yesterday with alot of confidence in it's sales potential and thus gigantic stock has more units in a store than a smaller game that nobody is talking about anymore?
