Japanese losing interest in Switch due to shortage.

I don't really think that's true on a national scale.

I was actually wondering if Japan had lost interest while looking at Amazon Japan the last couple of days.

Since while the Switch was losing more and more spots, the prices didn't rise as they did before when the Switch was dropping (due to scalpers and high demand), but the price was dropping at the same time as the Switches' ranking, implying a strong decrease in interest.

Now the question is if it's just temporary or if Nintendo lost these (or at least some of these) as customers for the Switch.

Also, where are the "artifical shortages to drive demand" guys now? I've been saying several times that this doesn't work when you haven't at least a quasi-monopoly, as only then there wouldn't be a choice but to suck it up and come back later. I bought my Gamecube back then purely because I couldn't find a PS2 at the time - and never bought a PS2 (I got one as a gift... in 2011 and second-hand)
