The real reason switches are rare is because no one wants them outside hipster centres.

Do you understand that most stores don't actually put shit like expensive consoles directly on display?
Just an empty box?

>display boxes
I am in asia right now and it is even more dire. Stores has them stacked, one store only has one on display because no one's buying them and one of the big malls here don't even have one on display and you have to ask people working there to get a unit at their storage because no one's buying them and it's a waste of display space.

And no they are not display boxes unless they place weighty stuff inside them just to fool me.

>>386963234
>eu

no one likes nintendo in EU, its sony land.

I'm in France and I've never seen the Switch out of stock, is it only in the USA and Japan or what?

I actually saw a Switch in Walmart the other day. the same Walmart that had eight on launch day, just sitting there. I guess it's just the way they handle distributing them compared to a store like Game Stop that serves them out in a instant.

>>386964497

>that guy who says THEN WHY DON'T YOU SCALP THEM
Have you checked scalping prices in the last 2 months? There's no profit in it. Demand is very low.

>>386963792
I asked them, they've been fully stocked since launch.

They also had a Madcatz fight stick for 120€, I picked it up since I'd been looking for one for a while, and the price was good

>>386963234
Does it say it comes with free mario and rabbids on the "regalo" sticker thing?

>>386965484
Yeah, for 5€ extra. They're not selling very well.

>>386965219
>Why are still so many people selling them online if the demand is low?
Because they're scrubs like you who see one in the store and think "I can sell that for like $400 or something! $100 profit!"

Then they ring it up in the register and pay $30 sales tax and still think they can make $70 profit

Then they sell it for $360 on ebay and still think they're making $30 profit

Then a month later ebay charges them $36 commission and paypal fees are about $10 and they're out $16 bucks.

Never start a business, you're a fucking idiot like the rest of them.

>be at Walmart as they get 4 in
>don't buy them to scalp because I'm not a fucking scum

>>386965219

Have you seen the prices? It's the same or under the market price. Moreover, people can buy a Switch, be done with it and sell it

Is there something sadder than anti switch threads?

It's like the subhumans actually think that people will believe their shit.

I saw about 7 consoles in Target last week. That is literally the first time I've seen the console in stock since March. Apparently, some areas are better than others.

>>386965917
You linked US Amazon and Ebay and now you're talking about Europe. From what I understand, Switch demand is even less in Europe and most stores have stock there.

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01M6ZGICT
https://www.amazon.it/dp/B01M6ZGICT

Stock is only an issue in Japan and US and it's ending in the US since demand is dropping.

>>386966043
Shouldn't you be taking your afternoon nap baby?

>>386963234
No one actually wants a Switch, its just this inflated perception that Nintendo fans want to perpetuate to remain relevant since Nintendo consoles will be forever an afterthought to most consumers.

>>386963234
Yeah, when you live in flyover country it'll be in stock

>>386966058
Agreed.

I figure I will wait for the inevitable revision B hardware. I really want to see if the Switch can unseat the Vita as the portable weebshit machine of choice; the old handheld is nice, but getting long in the tooth and Sony shows no signs of replacing it.

The majority here is using their Playstations only to play FIFA, PES and CoD, I wish I was joking. Many workmates are sitting in front of their 2000 euro TVs and FPS machines to scream at children online who also play COD

Italian here, it's not that we can't afford it(I have one) it's that there's an unspoken rule in here to always hate on Nintendo, no matter what they do. They could be giving away free money and people would still trash them

>>386968517
What did Nintendo do to you guys that was so wrong?

Nintendo announced they will be going to boost switch production and accept reservations on 22nd

>>386968517
Roughly 30% of Italians live below the poverty line. It's simply too pricy for the target audience.

I have no idea, I grew up with both Ninty and Sony and I think they're both really good, I prefer Nintendo overall, but everybody seems to loathe Nintendo and praise Sony whenever they can, even though they never play anything other than Fifa/Cod

>>386968664
Not Italian but if I remember back in the Nintendo days they fucked up their launch in the area which is why SEGA was big in Europe.

Nintendo frequently engages in artificial demand, intentionally providing incredibly limited stock to stores to make it seem like the product in question is selling faster than it actually is. There are warehouses full of Switches, but they only give three or four to stores at a time.

>>386964881

You live in a shithole country where people are so poor they can barely afford their bills and food. That's why those shelves are so stocked.

It just depends on where you are, really. Some places won't have any and they sell out quickly, others have stock that sits there for a while.

>>386968517

target by me always has them in stock

>Have you checked scalping prices in the last 2 months? There's no profit in it. Demand is very low.

This is what happens then Nintendo actually supplies stores with the product. You can't effectively scalp something that people can get at the MSRP if they wait the next week for stock to arrive again. It's not hard to get a Switch, they are making a lot of them. It just so happens they are always selling out. Just wait a bit and your store will get more quickly, unlike amiibos and their classic line of consoles, which stores rarely get, if at all.

I'm amazing the autism of /v/ is still somehow able to spin this into a negative for Nintendo.

It's actually sold pretty quickly in Europe. Switch has been the main source of GAME's profits this year, and they fell short on profit expectations mainly because their Switch stock was too low to meet demand.

>>386965435
>w-well, I asked and they said they weren't
You would have said that in the OP if that were true, because you would have that it smart enough to ask that in the first place and realize most people here would watn to know that too.

You wouldn't have waited for a (you) to add that pretty critical detail that you asked ahead of time.

Admit that you didn't ask and that you it didn't even occur to you that those boxes

>>386963234
>Spanish labels
Not sure what country is this but Mexico has always been stocked with Switches but no one wants to pay about $600 USD for a Switch.

>>386974526
The problem is the exchange right in Mexico right now and the shop's extra price for profit.

No voy a pagar mas de 10mil putos pesos por esa chingara, con ese dinero compro un PS4 Pro y un juego.

They can't. Sony cemented itself spamming PlayStation ads at "Faked injuries"ball Soccer games, normie-tier marketing and fucking FIFA.
Plus graphics. Yurops are huge graphic whores.

>>386975472
realistically, nothing.

Nintendo is a niche market and "family entertainment" now. Europeans dont have families anymore, so Nintendo won't catch on again.
If you are 25+ and still playing Nintendo there is most likely something wrong with you mentally. No well adjusted adult is into Italian plumbers vs space turtles and pretending that is deep or satisfying.
Nintendo is for manbabies what Harry Potter is for Tumblrinas.

Sony always spent orders of magnitude more on marketing and moneyhatting, that's why they were never able to leverage their market position into a significant profit.

>>386976762
Yes, Sony has never been on it for profit, despite being a business.
They're in for their dated japanese idea of "honor", for pride.
They have never, and will never forget what old man Yamauchi did. Even if Nintendo has more profits, they plan to long-term destroy them with cultural significance, and eventually, one day, Nintendo fans will die and/or be irrelevant old men and Sony kids who grew with PS2 or PS4 will be the adults with massive nostalgia.

Sony is just a bigger better company in general.
They don't only make games or gaming consoles, they make electronics from TVs to Laptops and own the rights to a number of Hollywood movies.

Its just a big diversified mega corporation. Nintendo is starting to diversify too, but again they are aiming for a children market. Making toys for McDonalds or selling "collectibles"

Winning gaming battles is just a pride thing for Sony. They mostly lose money on the PlayStation. (especially the PS3) but they get the capital from other sources so its ok.
