| malistix1985 said: They need to get the switches in the hands of gamers as soon as possible, more hardware sold more software sold more games developed, good stuff. Its hard to imagine the switch being that hard to get its in stock in in 11 stores just checking my lists in my country right now (The Netherlands) especially the splatoon bundle is available for € 374.00- € 379.00 in most stores. |
mate- not to be a jerk but... you live in the Netherlands. Realize for a moment that A) the biggest markets for Nintendo are North America and Japan, and B) that big cities in North America or Japan are going to have a kajillion more people trying to buy the thing
it's cute and all when someone's like "omgggg there's a few at my Walmart in Ohio, omggg there's like 10 at my local store in Sweden", but in practicality how does that have any sway on someone across an ocean? it doesn't.
I'm sure in somewhere like South Africa there's a store with 20 of them sitting there. But that's sort of irrelevant to the 300 people waiting in line at that one Japan store
by the way- insane picture, I don't recall a product quite in that demand (even in Japan) in a while. Strange to see like 500 people waiting in line if there's like 5 Switches available. Hopefully Nintendo was being genuine when they recently stated they've made moves to improve manufacturing speed
EDIT: the article claims 3000 people got in line to be part of a ticket raffle offering up 250 Switches for sale. That is just insane. 3000 people
