Using "nowinstock" as a reference The switch hasn't been in stock at Amazon since May 17th. We are now in June 19th. It has been more than a month.

Why is something that has been out of stock for a month still 27th to 39th

The Switch has simply so much appeal that it seems people are willing to pay the scalpers and their high prices(the lowest Switch prices on the scalper side is around 410-420 dollars)

It really goes to show that Nintendo really need to fix their production issues.

You mean the highest, right?  And usually it starts to drop when it gets that high.  The lower side is more like $370-$390.

Man, I was wrong about the E3 sale helping the XBO. Figured we'd have 2 SKUS in the Top 60 or, at least, Top 80. Instead, it looks like the XBO is going to be missing from the Monthly Top 100, again.

I wasnt really looking at it, but as far as I know, the price that is listed when you go to the amazon charts is usually the lowest, and that number usually stays around 410.

I can be wrong



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

It's also because after E3, a lot of Nintendo's games and some of Sony's games shot up to the Top 100, pushing the XB1 below 100. However, I think even before E3, the XB1 struggled to stay in the Top 100.

Yea.  It wasn't in the Top 100 for April or May.  I just figured since they were having a sale, and supposedly all the buzz was surrounding Xbox, they would have at least gotten into the Top 80.  I don't think E3 or the sale did much for them.

Well, I think it is at that specific time.  However, most of the resellers that sell well, at least enough to push the Switch back up about 5 spots or so, have their prices at ~$370-$390.  Then, when they sell out, other resellers' prices show up as the main one.  It seems they sell a few at that price and either they lower their price below $400, or another reseller does.  I mean, it's still selling well enough above $400, but it really does well below it.

I guess 2 Switch SKU ranking in the top 20 in the month of may was not enough.

Impressed Uncharted TLL continues to hang in the top 40-50 two months out from release. I just preordered my copy today on Amazon. :) I was super impressed with what was shown at E3, even with the effed up sound.

May looked close on Amazon.

June is not close, PS4 sales are much higher than the Switch's.

Yes PS4 takes June, Nintendo isnt shipping enough units to outsell the PS4.
