Nintendo are only planning that many Switch's for its first month right?

I know its a 199$ product instead of a 60$ one, but chances are the Switch could get the same treatment... end up in the hands of scalpers, instead of consumers that just want to get one at retail price and be able to game on it.

The first month is more like two weeks, and two million is a fine number when you compare it to the timeframe of roughly six weeks for systems that launch in mid-November; shipments for such a period amounted to ~4m units and we are talking about the holiday season here.

Switch is $199?

Yes supposedly planning a cheap 199$ and a more expensive 249$ model.

And I remember a 2m nr thrown around for launch amount (for the switch).

So when Barkley mentions that "low" amount(2m), is the reason scalpers are makeing it hard to get a NES mini.... my mind just went... isnt that what the Switch was supposed to launch with? Couldnt the same happend to the switch then?

 

The price is great tbh, its what alot of people said nintendo needed to do to sell the switch well.

I mean look at the Xbox One Slim and PS4 slim... they re like 208$ - 212$ atm.
