The shortage was a hoax as proven by the massive spike the Switch recieved after Splatoon 2 launched.
It just wasn't selling because there wasn't a game convincing enough people to drop $299 for the system.

The shortage was a hoax as proven by the massive spike the Switch recieved after Splatoon 2 launched. It's selling out ( shortage or no) saying it's "not selling" for any reasons makes no sense.
If you are skeptical of everything, you wind up not trying anything.

Then block him. You're only making it worse by giving him attention. |

the other day I saw a single switch, I would have bought it if there were any games worth it right now (I have a Wii U and a PC, so I can already experience most of its library)

Still over 300$ in the #1 online retailer, so no, Nintendo is still incompetent. When at any time you can go to ANY storefront, digital or physical and get a Switch if you have the money, thats when the shortage ends.
Even my most peaceful and calm posts are somehow designed to belittle those that disagree with me even a little, get used to it~!

It's getting better, but not 'over'. Yep - it used to sell for like 420 bucks over at Amazon not too long ago.
Yeah... Sorry.

NintendoGamer83 posted...Why do haters care so much? Well, for one having a decent install base so we can even get games. That's why (I at least) care. Whether there is a shortage or not, if the Switch isn't selling enough to get game developers attention, it will affect "all" Switch owners. That's why I care. For people that have no interest in the Switch, why are you here? To have a "discussion?".. Sounds like a loophole to bash something anyone dislikes. That's just me though.

As soon as it's readily available for retail the shortage is over. I caved this week and got the Minecraft bundle online with BotW. At least it was all retail instead of Amazon scalper's price.

It's finally over, the nearby stores here got 100's of them last week, and it's a fairly small rural area.

The switch is definitely in supply in my areas.
Will it continue to sell Well? Yes, in my opinion. It's worthy of decent sales. Is it ever going to outsell the Ps4 lifelong. No, that seems unlikely. Ps4 is on ps2 levels of sales. It'll definitely pass X1 though imo. |

I still haven't found a standalone system in stores, and until it's being sold at retail price on Amazon I think it's safe to say that they're at least somewhat hard to come by if you don't live in the right place.

There haven't been shortages here at all.
Of our two Gamestop locations, one of them had over a dozen on display Monday, and the second only had supply issues for the first week. It's going to be very interesting to see how Switch's Q2 sales end up.
Literally if it wasn't Nintendo I would return the god damn thing and never f***ing buy another Nintendo product again.- hilliet

It normalized again, back to the $380-390 range, in terms of scalping. It was $420~450 after E3, but that was gonna be a poor time to buy Switch anyways
Btw, even if that is the normalized price, it's still an indicator of a shortage. It's far from over

Oh wait that says no shortage https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-says-Galaxy-S8-and-S8-will-not-have-supply-shortage.209946.0.html You know Samsung makes their own NAND chips why would they suffer from a shortage? Maybe you saw this article where Samsung is helping Apple. https://www.macrumors.com/2017/07/06/apple-samsung-nand-flash-supply-iphones/ Or were you talking about this click bait article which was only speculation http://www.techtimes.com/articles/203385/20170330/samsung-galaxy-s8-and-galaxy-s8-chip-shortage-will-it-impact-supply.htm Or maybe it was this article about shortages based on demand outpacing supply which has no mention of part shortages http://www.firstpost.com/tech/news-analysis/samsung-galaxy-s8-and-galaxy-s8-are-facing-problems-with-supplies-3701669.html

That article doesn't mention anything about Samsung not meeting demand. It does however link to a separate article about Samsung delaying a 4TB PC SSD which happened months before Switch even launched and has nothing to do with their flagship mobile phone So you're comparing a high end PC item to a mobile phone and Switch when they don't share the same parts.

Don't just buy in blind hope). It'll get hard to find again toward the holiday season. |

The shortage only existed in the minds of Nintendo fanboys seeking reassurance.
Finally you will come to understand the extent of Nintendo's greed and Sony's love of gamers.

I posted some where, ah I'll do it again..
Last week I was at my Local Walmart, wasn't even looking for Nintendo products, in the electronics selection, when I saw they had in 4 Switches, 2 New Galaxy Blue 3DS's, and 1 New 3DS XL red. Just try all your local stores. ALL, of them, that could sell Nintendo.
