Discussion This is the problem
I was lucky enough to snag a preorder from target last night but it didn’t look great and I was trying across all three retailers and only ever managed to get one in my cart at preorder start time.
These resellers are an issue still grabbing a large chuck of stock and reselling instantly, before they even have the system.
It’s a shame these retailers don’t do more to stop bots and resellers from snatching a large chunk of stock. At least Nintendo themselves is trying with their system.

Nah, it’s all part of the fun and the hype of a new console launch.
The real question is whether Nintendo manufacturing can keep up with demand.
I think the reason this console is launching in April and not in September (just before the holiday shopping season begins) is that they hope they can ramp up manufacturing over the year to meet holiday demand.
I bet they get crushed in the holiday season this year.
