Switch 2 Frenzy: Shortages Hit as Nintendo Sets Special Store Hours

Shortages? Sure, Jan... That's FOMO marketing.
Checked Elgiganten online page (Nordic electronics retailer) , which lists all the 76 stores in Sweden and how many have Switch 2's in stock. Surprising amount had 10+ (highest shown number). Maybe they are unsold because it's so gosh-darned expensive here.

Checking your link they have 1 available but damn that's expensive.
 
Come to Netherlands, plenty of stock here.
Can you maybe point out wich stores, i cant find any even the last bundles from Mediamarkt are gone.
I know some people who are stil searching so if you can tell which stores have them in stock i would be very grateful

People are so delusional, this console will be sold out completely in most major markets by Monday. I also think it will become hard to find until fall once most of the launch units are sold.

The console doesn't have a lot of upside at the moment but people will want to buy it now to avoid the potential price increase that could happen due to the tariffs and to secure it now to avoid the mad rush that will happen in fall for the holidays.

Click "Tillgänglig i 67 butiker" (available in 67 stores) and it'll show the status for every store nationwide. That's just one chain, there's a bunch more like Power, but they don't show detailed info online. Only if they have them or not. A friend visited them yesterday and they had 14 machines on the shelf.
In short, there's plenty of machines out there.
 
Does the upgrade pack work with switch 1 cartridges or just digital ? Thinking of picking up a switch 1 copy today.

Sad and pathetic comes to mind. But then rabbid Nintendo fanboys are worse than Xbox and PC fans. Fancy waiting in line for hours when you could easily walk into a store and pick one up.
 
Kinda nostalgic and cool to see a midnight lunch like this.

I ended up at a midnight launch and it felt just like the old days. I believe the last console launch I attended was for the PS4 Pro. Everything since has been shipped.

walked into my local shop earlier (UK) and there were loads of consoles left. No shortages here at least for the moment..
 
Yeah it's a big shrug here in the UK, could go out and buy a few from different shops within a couple of miles. Zero FOMO here.
