I just wanted to remark briefly on my buying experience today. After hearing endlessly about how there was going to be a massive shortage, I fully expected to fail in my attempt to get a Switch 2 today since I hadn't pre-ordered, so I opted not to stress myself about it. I took the day off and went to a 7 AM store opening at about 7:05, picked up a Switch 2, and drove home. It was the simplest, smoothest, easiest launch day experience I've had in decades. No mandatory pre-ordering, no getting in line at 8 PM the previous evening or anything like that. All console launches should be like my experience today was. I just wanted to shout out the good people at Nintendo for ensuring the delivery of an adequate volume of systems this time around, at least in my area. Thank you for making it easy for me!

Uh-oh, flop confirmed if you got yours that easily.

Not necessarily. Nintendo had been stockpiling the Switch 2 for a while now.
