Nintendo really need to sort their stock issues out!

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding my point in this post. Whilst i agree any potential Switch customers can easily walk into a retail store and buy a Switch atm, the fact that, so early in the Christmas run-up scalpers are increasing their prices for Switch on Amazon is mildly worrying. With it being so early in the run-up, the Switch is only going to become more in-demand as the holidays near and as soon as the shortages worsen, so the scalpers prices will rise even further. I know it's probably not possible but it would be nice if Nintendo were able to flood the market with enough Switches to deter the scalpers. Even 1 sale at inflated prices on Amazon is a blow to gamers imo and there probably are parents out there with insufficient time to check several retailers. In short, even shortages in 1 place (Amazon) could be harmful not just for Nintendo but also for some gamers and especially disappointed kids on Christmas day.

This needs to reach soooo hard to get a person being let down and disappointed by Nintendo.

If a parent isn't willing to go to a shop to get a product for a present then sure... kid is going to have a bad christmas day, but they'll also probably be annoyed because this same ficticious parent didn't want to go and check a shop for a turkey, because they went into a store which didn't have them so they gave up and cancelled christmas.

Erm, i'm not sure what to say to this. Whilst i agree it certainly won't be a majority, i'm sure there will be at least some cases of disappointed kids at Christmas, unless Nintendo is able to ship huge amounts of stock. My point is, shortages (only Amazon ik but still) are occuring this early. Looks a bit worrisome to me. Especially as scalpers prices have risen on there in the last few days.
