Nintendo Switch 2 likely to remain scarce until next spring: analysts

This is a terrible take.

Also, Nintendo having loads of stock is a good thing. Its just not available in the UK and pretty much sold out everywhere. The stock comes in and literally goes straight out the door and it isnt even Covid demand.

Nintendo CRUSHING it and I love the salty tears it generates.

I wouldn't call what they're doing as crushing it other than in sales. I've just as critical on Sony for their recent tendencies and Nintendo isn't exempt from that. Remember the Wii being on fire? That was the worst of the best selling systems ever by the end.
 
This seems to be a Country specific, and then a geographic issue in the US.

From what i've read here, Countries outside of the US have no problem walking in most of the time to any store and buying one.

Here in the US, it seems to be a mixed bag. I can tell you for certain, that here in Central Texas you can't just walk in stores and find them yet unless you happen to get lucky and stumble in within a day of a stock refresh. I had to get mine in a Best Buy Online drop a couple weeks back.

I'd say for US buyers for now, if you want to avoid the annoyance of going into store after store and finding nothing, your best best will be online drops at Best Buy and/or Walmart. Follow Wario64 on Twitter/X, and you'll know with plenty of leadtime when the drops are. I saw in the last day or so that Amazon US finally put them online but you have to request to be able to buy one via something you'll click on the product page. No doubt priority will go to Prime Members.

I have yet to see one in the wild (Central Florida)
Accessories and such is a non issue. I haven't had an issue grabbing games for mine either.
