So, Best Buys across the country have tons of Switches in stock. So much so that they've removed the website lock that kept you from doing store pickup. Targets and Walmarts are also reporting similar inventory, through 3rd party websites like istocknow

>f-fly over states! it's sold out here, I swear!
Give me your zip code and I will find stock within 5 miles of your address.

Face it, launch demand was high because drones that would usually wait 1-2 years to buy Nintendo hardware all wanted one at launch to play BotW. Now that the launch craze is over, this is bound to become the next Gamecube.

Yeah I never saw a Switch in stock anywhere until last weekend where the local Wal-Mart was full of them.

Funny you mention this. My friend and his girlfriend just bought one for Mario Kart today and neither of them ever owned a Wii U or a 3DS (at least to my knowledge). While I don't think the system has the same wide spread appeal as the Wii, it has a lot more than the Wii U and the Gamecube.

Agree it'll be more popular than the Wii U. Whether it outdoes the gamecube has yet to be determined. I think it's way too expensive right now, which is its biggest problem. But a price cut would save that. GC was slashed to $99 a year after launch, which is the only reason it didn't do Wii U numbers itself.

Honestly though, I'm still impressed that it fucking launched with Zelda.

Imagine the Xbox 360 launching with Halo 3, or the PS3 launching with........ ???

This was going to be a positive post, but then I remembered that even if it's impressive that it launched with a killer game, at least the Xbox 360 and PS3 had backwards compatibility.

You seem to be happy about this. What does the Switch selling or not have to do with anything?
>>
>>388661529
It'll get another sales boost from Odyssey. Sales can slow down but as long as it keeps selling the price won't be cut for a while. I do think the initial price point gives it some wiggle room, though.

MK8 Yes but splatoon is worthless without online and you can't play the second one on CEMU
>>
>>388661808
If it gets a price cut, sure. I think a price cut would have improved the situation for the Wii U, but it oddly never got one. So it's hard for me to tell. If Nintendo sticks to their guns on the $300 price, I think it will fall considerably below that
>>
closest store for me is 20 miles for a gray switch and 25 miles for a red and blue switch. i already have one, but it's nice that best buy opened the online shit. if people were serious about scalping them, they'd already be calling and checking all the stores.

>It's outpacing the 3DS in the west
Again, I think that's because demand is going to be very front heavy. Imagine you have 20 million or so diehards. If you distribute them over 4 years you might have 5 million who bought hardware launch year, the next year, the year after that, etc. But those same 20 million, there might be 10 million or more who decided to buy a Switch in launch year because usually it takes a year for a Nintendo hardware to have any games worth mentioning. Not the case with the Switch. But you're still only courting the same 20 million either way, so while demand looks very high right now, it will probably tank sharply if what I'm saying is true.

>and selling out within minutes every week in Japan.
Well sure, but supply has been very low there. I think only 1.3 million were supplied of the global 5 million shipped when that report was made, which is far less than a 3rd of global supply at that time. Nintendo has been significantly undersupplying the Japanese market because dedicated consoles (including handhelds) have been doing poorly there as of late, since most people have gone to mobile. It's actually the world's biggest mobile games market.

I mean, consider the 3DS, which is Nintendo's worse selling handheld, sold 20 million units in Japan. 1.3 million isn't very many, so for them to sell out instantly doesn't mean anything. It just means they're undersupplied

The scalping market tanked over a month ago. There's no profit in it. I can explain why $370 is too low to profit off of a $300 item but you're probably too stupid to understand

Having a Switch "in stock" that costs more than $300 does not count. If it did they've been "in stock" everywhere for months.

Just go on Ebay and look through newly listed deals. That's what I did and got one new with a new copy of MK8 for $340.

no one even said that for disliking it. you dislike a game okay, but that doesn't mean fucking up the experience for other people who do like the game. and saying something like

Launching with a 98 metacritic game is also unprecedented. I don't think Switch fits the same mold that any other console that came before it did, and that will include various aspects like its sales curve

It took 3DS and Wii U a year to get a library that wasn't half as good as Switch's first month.

Having product on the shelf is the whole point and how a company makes money. Not sure how you guys came up with and believe in the artificial shortage thing but it's beyond dumb. No company in the world would do that. No board of directors would allow that. Maybe Nintendo can finally start making some money off the damn thing.

>>
>>388668269
I mean nintendo's board of directors is against open online because... ?

fact of the matter is, they're not exactly a standard company, with all of the restrictions they self-impose, and impose on third parties participating through their platform, it's not surprising at all to think they'd do something so fiscally irresponsible.
>>
At this point I think it's safe to say it'll at least outsell the N64. Past that though, it'll depend on cheaper hardware revisions and a good stream of software.
>>
>>388668568
I'm not sure what open online is. They probably don't want to spend monies in the infrastructure of something like that. I love Nintendo but they do things on the cheap.
>>
>>388669129
open as in not restricted by friend codes, or asinine phone apps.
>>
>>388669242
This is just a guess but they probably put a ton time, effort, and money in that model. They don't repeal their old ways very easily. Hell maybe they like it. I don't think online is revenue generator anyway so it also may be a non important factor them. I don't have the answer but I can promise that no stock in high demand is bad no matter what you're selling.
>>
>>388669779
if they ever plan to charge for online (though it's looking like they may have given up on that given they keep pushing back the cutoff date for the free online) it will be absolutely unacceptable to have to go through a phone app to connect with other people, much less your fucking friends. It's ridiculous and there will be backlash. Imagine, for a moment, what's going to happen when ultra mario maker comes out.
