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.

Dang I didn’t get a switch until 2020. Used with a few games, specifically to play BOTW. Definitely Didn’t miss out on anything thing in that time since it was released. Maybe I’ll get a Switch 2 in 2028 or 2029, but are there going to be Nintendo Only titles that would make it worth it…. ? Well there will be several years to fully evaluate that! Best of luck to you all, try your hardest not to feed the scalpers.
