Where the fuck are people finding these? I've been checking every Gamestop and Costco within 50 miles for the past 2 weeks and I haven't been able to find one in stock.

Trust and believe the Switch 2 would be at 10 million+ sales if there was actually stock at the stores.

>>713312769 (OP)
go to walmart

>>713312915


I did and they don't have them

>>713313021
Why don't you just order one?

>>713313121


That's for preorders

>>713313543
You guys don't have normal online shops in america? You can't just buy the console online?

>>713313608
>america
>making sense
you have to remember this is the same country that collectively decided phonics was a waste of time and caused a literacy crisis because of one scientific paper

>>713313881
Yeah but ffs buying electronics shouldn't require going into physical shop. In europe this kind of shops are dogshit and everything there is expensive and only stupid idiots buy there. I can't fucking believe that your store brands don't have website that allows you to buy shit with delivery

>>713313881
>caused a literacy crisis
kek no. that is caused by the current generation of young people being majority non-White.

I just went to gamestop on restock day. The site is fucked you have to call to know if they're there.

>>713314328
Even white people couldn't read back then retard. You are just another one of those illiterate whites but in current day, sad.

>>713314597


I called them for a solid hour and no one picked up and I called other places and no one picked up. I'll just head there first thing when they restock. When is that Tuesday or Wednesday?

Ask yourself, do you really want to play mario kart that fucking badly? I could understand maybe if you really really want to and the new DK game next month, but really, is it worth $500 to play 2 games when there's hardly any exclusive games announced even coming out on the switch 2 aside from those all year? Even Prime 4 is on the switch 1.

>>713314940


I already have a switch and I want to trade it in while I have a coupon available to get the most trade in value for it!

>>713313608
They're out of stock everywhere online unless you buy them at scalped prices.

>>713312769 (OP)
Weird, in Australia they didn't sell out at all. I can go to literally any electronics shop and buy one off the shelf

>>713315496


THANK YOU! I feel like I'm being gaslit. I can't find this shit anywhere and I just want to get the newest Switch on the bigger screen! Plus I can still play all my old Switch games on it

>>713315603
I'm in the same camp as you dude I fell for the /v/ threads that this shit was readily available in stores and have checked multiple target's and walmart's near me and they're sold out everywhere I eventually stopped checking.
One target I went to they had so many people asking they put up a sign on the front of the tech department desk saying they had no stock of switch 2's that day.
I have used the same switch 1 since launch and want one to replace my console as well as putting CFW on the old one.

Be aware that stores may take a while to update their availability after getting more units on their websites. It's sometimes better to go to their locations in person.

>>713312769 (OP)
I used popfindr to find a gamestop with inventory. I think it kept saying no results (not even a list of 0 in stock), so I tried other zip codes near me and different radiuses until it finally worked. There was one with 6 in stock. I drove there and things were looking grim, the store only had one person working there, a kokujin who wanted money back for his broken ps4 and a family ahead of me, but I waited like 40 minutes in line and finally got one.

>>713312769 (OP)
I literally just saw dozens in a case in Alexandria MN today. Just buy one from Walmart online.

>>713315995
On an unrelated trip to target an employee behind the service desk was being asked about them and told the person that your best bet is to go or call the store as soon as they open to check if they have inventory.

>>713316065


I'm just going to keep my PS4 I already know I am not getting shit for it may as well keep it if I need to play a DVD or Bluray

>>713312769 (OP)
I don't know if you're being real or not but I'll help you out:
>Join a discord that specializes in tracking and alerting members to stocks. You can find it on google, it's the same one that also tracks GPU stocks
>Be willing to get up really early in the morning to check for stock alerts
>Be willing to camp out of whichever retailer is supposed to be having units stocked up and pray to god that the particular location you're queued up at will have something available, because it's a lot easier than trying to outrun a bot at the online checkout.
That's how I got mine, took a few weekends for me but it does work.

>>713314195
Go brush up on your English a little more before you shit up this board, pajeet.

I pre-ordered mine from Nintendo a week ago Tuesday and got it this past Thursday
Was that an option only for Switch Online subscribers or something?

>>713316886
They said they were prioritizing people who had 50 hours of Switch 1 playtime as of April 2 and 1+ year subscribed to NSO.

>>713314940
Yes. It has Mario.

>>713316886
>>713317140
I signed up for that but all I got was an email saying I was fucked out of luck

>>713312769 (OP)
Best buy

There were at least 50 extra when I bought mine on release after work (5pm)

>>713316065


Thank you. It shows that it's out of stock at all the places within 50 miles of where I live I'll try again on Tuesday

>>713316847


Thank you. I don't mind waking up early.

>>713316886

>Was that an option only for Switch Online subscribers or something?
It still is, but a lot of people weren't chosen because Nintendo only has so much in stock.

>>713312769 (OP)
If you have a costco account the best way is to check their app routinely for restocks, not their stores or popfindr. That's how I got mine.

I heard more stock was coming end of month

>>713312769 (OP)
I've been sending Scalpers on FB Marketplace to random houses in the most violent neighbourhoods

I just saw 10 in stock at my local Walmart, OP trying to pretend this shit is in high demand to drum up fomo

>>713312769 (OP)
gamestop is restocking but they run out in minutes, you need to find out which day it is and call every hour

>>713320705
no, you and op live in different areas with different demand and supply

>>713312769 (OP)
Get a few stock trackers. There's a lot of discords or phone apps for it.
That's how I got mine, and how I got my 5090.

>>713320705
post zip code
if you're anywhere other than the east and west coasts, I will laugh heartily at your ignorance

>>713321445
east coast is super dry idk about the west

>>713321506
the coasts are dry. urban areas are dry. people talking about the excess units are literally all midwesterners whose only "family outing" restaurant in a 20 mile radius is Applebees

>>713322871
Cope harder
Applebees doesn't exist here

>>713322871

>Spend $500 now and have a day one console that has the most potential vulnerabilities going forward, play games as they come out, adds to the install base which increases the chance of third-party support
vs
>Spend $500 in 4 years and have a patched console, play games from 3 years ago that have already been spoiled to death, lesser third-party support because not as many people bought the device early on

Gee I wonder. Where does this idea come from that I'll have less games than someone who buys one in 2029? Maybe less to choose from at the very start, but I'm still getting all the games the guy who buys it in 2029 gets. The only real downside is that he might have the option of getting an OLED model, but he's still gonna pay like $500 without a game in that case.

>>713323225
nonononono you're not allowed to spend on things you like and feel good about it! all of your decisions are wrong!! your taste is bad!! you can't like things that's gay!!

>>713322871
why do brown coastals always underestimate how populated the midwest is

>>713314940
>really, is it worth $500 to play 2 games when there's hardly any exclusive games announced even coming out on the switch 2 aside from those all year?
Splatoon Raiders, Kirby Air Riders, The Duskbloods, DK Bananza, new Hyrule Warriors, Fast Fusion, Bravely Default HD, etc.
I've excluded ones I'm not even interested in
>Even Prime 4 is on the switch 1.
...and? The Switch 1 version is 900p 60 FPS in *docked*, which tells you the portable resolution is either tiny or the FPS on handheld is 30. It's likely a mix of lower-than-720p and an inconsistent unlocked performance between 30 and 60.
The Switch 2 edition is locked 1080p 60 FPS on handheld and much higher docked. Hell, it also has mouse support so you can do mouse look Metroid without modded Dolphin for the first time ever.

In addition to the other game announcements coming our way as well as confirmed games, exactly how is this is a bad value for a console in its *first* month of release? The PS5 legitimately had less. I can actually play the my switch 1 backlog locked at their intended targets with the switch 2, and enhanced ports like both do even better, which is great since I never played them the first time around.

You better get to bed Jared. Margaret needs help down at the hardware store and while we both know your mother failed to raise you into an upstanding lad, the least you can do is avoid making her cry again.
