summary
- GameStop Sources suggests low stock of the Nintendo Switch 2 when launching, limited games and accessories.
- Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-orders starting in May may not guarantee availability due to limited stock.
- Despite the pricing of the Switch 2, demand remains high, and launch week is expected to be rarity.
Even if the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 is a little higher than some people expected, there’s no doubt that upcoming consoles will be sold like pancakes at launch.
If you are planning to pick up units from GameStop, if this latest rumour is a real deal, you are asking for a long siege before you.
Nintendo Switch 2 Gamestop stocks aren’t enough to meet demand
GameStop hasn’t announced anything, but X-user Nintendeal (who is said to have actual contacts working at retail stores) claims that 100 Switch 2 consoles will be available per branch. However, this can be small depending on the Gamestop branch. Not only that, Leaker claims that Nintendo is “very limited” with the two games and accessories, which adds more stress to gamers who need the full package when launching.
Whether the sauce is reliable or has a large supporter, it is important to note that unless it comes from GameStop, it is not important to note that it will be treated with salt grains.
Even with Nintendo’s anti-sculper initiative in place, it seems very difficult to get Switch 2 on startup. This does not take into account whether tariffs will affect the supply chain. Currently, pre-orders begin in May, but there is no guarantee that they can do so.
Even if the Switch 2 release didn’t go as smoothly as planned, the console hype has not waned, especially as some of its games have been confirmed to be at a higher price than the PS5 and Xbox Series X | S games.
If you can’t afford the Switch 2, Nintendo suggests getting the original switch instead, but this may not be the best advice people want to hear.
The Nintendo Switch 2 was available in retail stores on June 5, 202, and many disappointing Nintendo fans are expected in the first week of June.
