This needs to reach soooo hard to get a person being let down and disappointed by Nintendo.

If a parent isn't willing to go to a shop to get a product for a present then sure... kid is going to have a bad christmas day, but they'll also probably be annoyed because this same ficticious parent didn't want to go and check a shop for a turkey, because they went into a store which didn't have them so they gave up and cancelled christmas.

Thanksgiving, man. Turkey day is Thanksgiving, not Christmas.

In Brazil we do use turkey for christmas, perhaps that is also on their country.

How are scalpers "scumbags? They're industrious, maybe you don't like it, but they're simply making some extra money on nintendo's inability to produce the proper amount of consoles. They are no more scumbags then Nintendo is - they wouldn't exist if nintendo did their job. Being entrepreneurial isnt being a scumbag, if you dont want to pay an extra $100 for a console then dont pay it. I bought my switch from a scalper for an extra $50 and have no regrets/

I do love the offer and demand rule =]

Maybe you should go to an actual physical store, I've seen Switches in Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and GameStop albeit in short amounts, from only having 1 at hand to about 4 max.

Is your signature based on Initial-D?

Sorry for the late response, it's not Initial D but its kinda like a sequel(?) called MF Ghost.

They can't ship them any faster than they can make them.

Setting up new production lines isn't as quick as it might sound.



peachbuggy on 06 November 2017

Well i just hope with whatever methods they are using, they can stock enough to meet demand. With hindsight, perhaps they could have opened the other production lines earlier.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Yep! The Switch Hype is insane!

It's a good thing but a double edged sword. It's clearly costing Nintendo sales. Instead of having a "tremendous" holidays, if they can supply stock to all that want 1, they could have a stratospheric holidays!

uhm... if scalpers are buying it.. nintendo sold that hardware.. so tbh. i don't think they care THAT much about it.. sure, would be better to have it in the hands of someone that will play games on it, but you can't control that as a company.
Make 100M more casue there are scalpers, that is not a nintendo issue, thats a scalpers issue

Nintendo beat the Wii scalpers in the end by supplying enough Wii consoles. It looks like they are also trying to address the SNES mini scalpers/shortages problems. I just hope this is the case with the Switch too.
