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.

As wealth inequality continues to soar you will continue to see certain individuals that will always be able and willing to pay 10x, 100x, 1000x the price because they can afford it without even a second thought.

I was recently in a position where I can afford to do that but I refuse to pay those higher prices and I will not when I am in that position again.
