At launch, the original Switch was incredibly difficult to get. I had to use BrickSeek and out in a fair amount of effort to get one, calling in late to work and going out if my way to pick one up.
In the first two weeks after Switch 2 launched, I had multiple opportunities to buy one off the shelf and I wasn’t even looking for them.
The strong launch supply is the key contributing factor to the sales figures here, I’ll be curious to see how the sales compared after a longer period like one year.
The only games I’m remotely interested for it are DK and that FromSoft game. I’m not buying a new console from Nintendo of all companies just to gather dust aside from one game a year tops. I’ll wait for the emulation scene to do its thing.
If there’s a silver lining here it’s that you can wait until there are enough interesting games to justify a purchase. If the switch 2’s lifecycle is comparably long as the original Switch’s, that backlog ain’t going anywhere.
Plus if you hold out long enough for the tech to come down in price, you can grab the OLED version that I’m expecting to be announced in a couple of years.
Nintendo’s asinine anti-consumer anti-piracy measures are probably causing more harm to the company than this guy ever did.
I might have actually bought a Switch 2 if Nintendo hadn’t pissed me off with their pricing and game cart shenanigans.
You are in the extreme minority. The Switch 2 is already selling better than the original.
Then it seems that Nintendo is also in the extreme minority by claiming this guy’s efforts have done them any harm. How they won this is beyond me.

Lot morons in the world. I wont be buying one nor anything else from Nintendo that isn’t used and money goes to some besides them.
I feel the same way. Won’t touch their new crap with a ten foot pole. Vote with your wallet, people.

Or just emulate it in a couple years.
Unfortunately they will raise the price by then
And remote bricking!
