Forums - Nintendo - Gamestop: Nintendo Switch Selling out in hours not days (Mario Kart Launch info)

It rings true around my area. Still haven't been able to find one. I check 2-3x a week at Gamestop, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target and Toys R Us. I give up, I refuse to order one on Amazon for a ridiculous price. I may skip the console, so much time wasted trying to find one.

What about importing one? It is readily available through most of Europe.

Not to hard when each store seems to just get one or two.

This.

April NPD will be interesting. ;)



I think they've handled their launch window very well by spacing out the games. Despite some people complaining about the lack of software, they're releasing 4 big sellers (MK, Zelda, Odyssey, Splatoon) along with 4-5 smaller hits this year which isn't common for a console's first year. Third parties will certainly be interested now

Of course not. Then ps4 did well for the month. My point is "switch sold out only because each store only gets 1-3" is his way of [only thats why switch seems to be doing good]

 

If switch wins april, he will contradict himself by saying some excuse for why switch sold more despite "switch sold out only because each store only gets 1-3"

 

You might think im unreasonable but you dont kno lawlight post history.

Thats fair enough, but Im sure several other people will use the shortages as an excuse if the Switch doesnt win.

If it doesnt ship enough then the fault is from nintendo. That said lets say if it doesnt win becuase ps4 beat it but both sold 400k+, then lawlight will still be wrong :p



I don't think we have to worry about this game being sold out, the Target where I went and got the game at had like 50+ copies! There coulda been more in the actual electronics section of the store, but I didn't even need to go back there since they had a nice set-up at the front of the store to pick it up from.
