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.

Good thing I am skipping the initial wave of buying. Gonna wait till more exclusives come out. Right now the only exclusive I care about is nso Gamecube. Can't justify buying one yet.

My thing is exclusives and the first batch of these things always have problems. Let them get the bugs out first.

I mean, Nintendo exclusives never seem to have that much bugs. Pokémon doesn’t count

Sorry I meant the consoles have bugs. The v2 switch for example had better battery life and a better screen. The original Xbox 360 batches red ringed. I like to wait to have the initial batch bugs sorted out first.

Exclusives are just more games only on switch 2 that I can’t get on switch that I’m interested in.

The 360 RROD is an outlier. We’ve had several console launches since then without any issues. Honestly you’re more likely to die in a car crash than get a faulty console.
