The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is due in stores within a few weeks, and merchants are getting ready for its release. It remains uncertain whether there will be enough units available on the first day, especially since some retailers use ambiguous language. This morning, Best Buy provided a glimmer of hope to those who missed out on preorders, as their website stated that physical stores would have limited quantities initially and an opportunity to receive a free Nintendo memorabilia item. However, as pointed out by Wario64, the site’s wording has since been revised, eliminating all mentions of the stock and collectible offer.
At present, only pre-ordered consoles can be picked up at midnight ET on launch day or shipped later. Best Buy may provide more details about the available stock and the “Nintendo collectible” in the near future. Interestingly, while preorders for the console have run out on their site, there are still plenty of games and accessories available for pickup during the late-night launch event.
Will the Nintendo Switch 2 be readily accessible for purchase? Nintendo anticipates selling 15 million consoles this fiscal year, which could break records as the fastest-selling video game system ever. To meet this goal, they’ll need a substantial stockpile. However, there are worries that resellers might buy up systems and sell them at inflated prices on platforms like eBay. One potential solution is to produce so many units that reselling isn’t financially viable for them. But only time will tell how the situation unfolds.
Eight years have passed since the debut of the original Nintendo Switch, and it has managed to sell over 150 million units globally since then. Persuading existing users to upgrade to a Switch 2 in the coming years will be one of Nintendo’s significant hurdles. It’s always tough to convince customers to move on from a successful gaming system, but there are promising indications for Nintendo. Based on the company’s most recent financial statements, the system still boasts approximately 128 million active users each year. This suggests that people didn’t just purchase the system for games like “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe” or “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” and then abandon it; instead, they continue to engage with the platform. Regular users are likely eager to play the company’s new releases on a future system.
As the launch date for Nintendo Switch 2 creeps ever closer (June 5th to be exact), I can’t help but feel a surge of anticipation. With the big day fast approaching, we should soon learn about the projected stock levels and the top retailers where one might score a preorder if they haven’t already secured one.
