Gamestop stores across the country may have gotten new shipments of the Nintendo Switch in advance of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe release, but if you didn't already know that probably missed them. Nintendo's new hybrid living room/portable console started flying off of store shelves on day one, and it shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. It's good news for Nintendo, a company that badly needed a win with its core console business after the tepid response to the Wii U and good news for the Nintendo fans that have managed to get their hands on one of the things.
"It's exceeding our expectations," he said. "We knew it would be a high demand product, but our Switch allocations are selling out not in days, but in hours...the demand is so high that consumers have to react quickly to be able to get their hands on them."
And while specific predictions about future supply or demand are tough to come by, nobody seems to be banking on supply stabilizing any time soon. At this point, demand still seems to be riding a launch window peak where machines are selling out immediately, at least for all intents and purposes.
"Right now we're not seeing sales going down at all, and I would expect that to continue for quite some time," said Bright
I'm really happy for Nintendo... I'm sad for little ol' me who can't get one!
Signature goes here!
I'll just leave this here...
In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.
Looks like Nintendo is quite well positioned for spring/summer I think. Splatoon 2 making July instead of August/September is a big help too. I thought maybe the gap between Zelda and Mario Kart 8 was a bit too large, but it didn't really matter much. Sales should continue to be strong into fall.
Boom got mine day one with BOTW and 1 2 switch. Just got MK8D today. Good times

We need to hook you up, Truck! I don't want to live in a world where you're Switch-less.
This time Nintendo has a good idea, WITH a great execution. It's not about price or games too much, it's about perceived value.
I cannot even fathom the sales charts when a Pokemon game is announced.
