Sort of strange... because the Switch was not even officially launched in my country, but it´s not hard to find it at all. There are many pieces being sold online and on importers

Where are you from?

Brazil

I live in Los Angeles and have only seen it in stock once since launch, 4 greys in a local Wal Mart.

I found one with persistence. I missed out on it when it stayed in stock for about two days, and then another one came in about 2 weeks later and I bought it,



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 151 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 57 million (was 60 million, then 67 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

I see; your export/import laws are very challenging.

Yep. Lots of taxes, huge taxes and expensive tools for transportation. Consoles are very expensive here. There is a demand and there is  produtct availability, but some people are just turned off due to costs

US Virgin Islands. I have to get my gaming stuff either from amazon or when I travel to the mainland. Only 2 places here sell games 1 is a dedicated store(and a total ripoff) the other is a pharmacy on the docks by the cruise ships

I'm waiting on Odyssey to be released before picking one up, but if happen to see one in the wild before then, I might be tempted make an impulse purchase the same way I did when I spotted a Wii back in 2007.

Also, for anyone who's gotten a Switch recently or has been looking into getting one, has Nintendo fixed some of the initial launch complaints with later batches of the console such as connection issues with the left JoyCon or the dock being a bit flimsy and being prone to scratching the screen on the console?
