Wat?  This shipment isn't lasting, these are resellers or small time retailers who sat on a paltry numer to sell for $400. But the Switch has been available 100% of the time on Amazon for these markups.  It's sold out on Amazon itself, like the majority of locations of ever major retailer in this country.  That's why it is being marked up by $100 on Amazon.  Son

I see what you mean - the seller is not amazon itself. I suppose a lot of people would consider a $98 markup to be too much even though $398 is a fairly standard price for a new system. I guess Nintendo isn't shipping enough hardware to the US for some reason.

Well, it has only been out for 2 whole months.  And there's a possibility it could be more Nvidia's fault than Nintendo on the lack of stock.  Still, I expect things to calm down a bit during the upcoming months, as they are usually slow.

Still a far cry from when consoles could be marked up $300+ and still be sold.
