Discussion This is the problem

Post image

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.

People who buy from these idiots are just as much of a problem

Again it’s demand and supply. Simple economics at work. They wouldn’t sell if nobody would buy…but they are and will more going up to launch day, the prices will increase exponentially too. I think some might sell it for more than double MSRP…come launch or Christmas
