Gamestop's website said they had preorders in store, and I figured it was probably bullshit. I called three stores and got no response, so I said fuck it and decided to take a trip. And I was able to preorder my Switch 2 and one for my little brother.
Tbh I wasn't even really super excited about it, but now that I actually have it preordered I'm so much more hyped.

No, not necessarily.
When I was at Best Buy (I was around for the launches of PS4/XBone/WiiU/3DS/Vita) we always had more units than we had preorders. Because, we wanted people in the store, and we REALLY wanted the kind of people who would wait in line for 6+ hours to buy a system to do that. Because those customers are the ones that are likely going to pick up a few games and accessories.
Honestly, I think stores would much rather not sell video game systems online, but it's just a matter of not becoming obsolete.
