Nintendo Switch Preorders Opened Today At Best Buy And Sold Out Right Away

That was quick.

Preorders for the Nintendo Switch opened at Best Buy today and the store's initial allotment went quickly, it seems.

A Best Buy representative notified GameSpot at 1:25 PM ET that Switch became available to preorder. The units sold out quickly, apparently, as stock for the gray and the neon red/neon blue versions are no longer available.

We've followed up with Best Buy to find out if and when more units will become available. The $300 console remains sold out basically everywhere, including GameStop and Amazon.

Best Buy still has extra Joy-Con controllers and other accessories, as well as games, available to preorder. Go to Best Buy's website here to see everything that's available.

wow this console is hotter than your avatar.



Still available at my local if anyone is interested https://www.nedgame.nl/nintendo-switch/nintendo-switch---grey--levering-2-/5841987665/



No suprise that the console is sold out the real question is how it will do this holiday season and next year, obviously nintendo loyalists will buy it, every console has those people who are just buying the brand more then the actual hardware.

Good news for nintendo non the less because there fanbase might be smaller after the Wii-U. I know I am sceptical after my experiences with their last home console. Its going to be fun to see how the console does and I've seen predictions either in the low or high outcomes but almost nobody is predicting this to be like an xbox one or 3ds in sales and just do "ok" but thats exactly what I personally think.

At this point one has to question if this was really artificial scarcity or an actual huge demand.

Except eBay.

Actually, how does that even work? Why are people selling preorders at like $50?

I'm waiting for a mid-gen upgrade.
