I still remember when the NES mini first debuted in 2016 and you couldn’t find them at BestBuy or Target because the scalpers would wait in line overnight, buy up as many as they were allowed and then hold them for ransom on eBay. I’m preparing for this for the Switch 2.

Nintendo already tested this out and what they can do is this: Have an early buyer aspect of a month early before store release date where if you have an active Online Membership then you can pre-order the next console and have it sent to you directly by Nintendo. This early buy in would hard prevent scalping directly and let the fans get the console right away, which should help reduce the amount of scalping going on the true release since the hardcore fans already have their console. Nothing would be released for the thing until the true release date when the console is available in stores, but you could get the thing technically early.

And the smaller shops outside cities would likely not get stock, so you'd have to go into cities to buy, where it'd be very obvious what you bought

I grew up on Nintendo, but I put off getting a Switch for practically the entire generation because I didn’t have time for gaming. However, I desperately wanted to play Metroid Dread since the day I saw it. Last summer I finally caved and picked up a used Switch Lite and a used copy of Dread for $200 bucks, and I was instantly reminded why I love these games. So, naturally, I started amassing a modest collection of switch games (and I still don’t have enough time to play them all lol). Since I got on the Switch bandwagon so late, I figured I would stick with the Switch Lite and hold out for Switch 2. However, for the reasons you brought up, and others like - unforeseen supply chain issues, another chip shortage, initial bugs, firmware updates, and software patches - I decided to pickup a Switch OLED to tide me over until late 2025, possibly 2026 (got a great deal on one). I’ll pick up a Switch 2 once all the early day problems are fixed.

As much as I hope that they limit people to one per person, I feel like it wouldn't work. Like if they did it 1 per ip or something then bots would just use others ip, and all other ways (1 buy per device, have to put your address in ect) would be bypassed easily. If pre order opens this month then it's worse, because a lot of people won't have been payed this month yet, just used their money for Christmas, so scalpers and bots will 100% get there first, especially since it'll probably be from £318-£399 (400$-500$) ish

No Rob, I highly disagree. Videogames are the most important thing in the world. The fact that one has all their basic needs met and are able to have a hobby is something quite important and to be proud of. Once all basic needs are fulfilled one needs to have an outlet. And since for people here that outlet is videogames, and by extension Nintendo fans and lets all be honest Metroid fans. So, the most important thing in the world IS Metroid Prime 4. What do you think we all go to work for everyday? Pay bills and taxes? Fund more political stuff? Nah man Humans want to enjoy their life, we work by obligation. Most of us here are not CEO or Managers of huge firms. We are clerks and servers, societiy's slave. We want our fun. We want Metroid.

Nintendo partially delayed launch to stock pile systems to ease the demand. I agree retailers could do a better job of limiting the impact of bots and scalpers on hot items. Comsumers could also help by not paying scapled pricing and learning patience. Nintendo could also sale them directly to account holders.

Why can't companies have pre-order deposits to get an estimate how many they need at launch? Example.....sign up with nintendo, sign an agreement to not resell the system for 1 year. Then pay $100 deposit. Nintendo would then get and estimate how they need for those who pre-ordered plus for stores. If nintendo doesn't want to deal with logistics, they simply print a $100 voucher for any nintendo store.

The issue with that is Nintendo has their own online store, they are surely going to want to sell it in house. The issues with scalpers will be from the physical stores, GameStop, Target and Best Buy, who’ll put up preorders for the console when it’s announced. It’ll be down to the retailers to limit purchases to 1 per account, or like you said limit to in person reservations only. Nintendo’s online stores have been pretty good for preorders in the past, and during the Switch generation in particular, they’ve learned from their mistakes with the Xenoblade 3 special edition, limited edition OLEDs and amiibo of all things on how to handle demand. It’ll either be like trying to buy concert tickets, in a queue to limit traffic. Or an online ballot/ sign up reservations. I’m no expert but surely Nintendo has a fairly reasonable estimate for how many units they expect to sell within the first sales window. Given the switch userbase is 150m~, a 5% turnout seems reasonable, so 7.5 million switch units globally at launch, or even 15m globally seems reasonable. I can only assume the way for Nintendo operates, is to take preorders before actually shipping units, if the preorder period is 10 weeks long, and they receive 10 million orders then these batches are sent out. I’ve never worked at retail, but I can only assume it’s a similar procedure except with a hard cap on total orders. i.e. each target can only accommodate 50,000 units, granted those likely fill up fast, but for less demanded products like the peach switch game last year, if under-fulfilled they wouldn’t send out the maximum units. Nintendo will be proactive in letting consumers know if there are any stock issues, or expected restocks.

I still remember being in Gamestop the year the switch came out. I was lucky and had been able to preorder one but a friend of mine had been looking for one cause he wanted to play Mario Odyssey and he didn't want one of those bundles. He just wanted a switch so he could buy Mario when it came out. I asked if they had gotten any in recently and the employees there just laughed at me and proceeded to trash talk Nintendo cause they "sucked" and they weren't shipping any out and they were doing in on purpose to create FOMO. I then brought up all their bundles online and they didn't have anything to say to that.

Now something they could do is a February reveal, and it is out March 21st with Xenoblade X and reveal that the console is a DS-type and they have a dual-screen version of Xenoblade Chronicles X as well for the next console and in 2 weeks have a GIGA Nintendo Direct which showcases Mario Kart 8 More Deluxe which also releases March 21st for the next console only. A big 3D Mario would be in the reveal trailer and for the first holiday of the console. Mario Kart 8 More Deluxe would be Mario Kart Infinite and entail: Everything Mario Kart 8 offers and an entirely new open world sandbox adventure to freely drive around in, nothing with real substance, but would have interesting areas to look at and terrain to navigate around and just be a cool fun thing for Mario Kart.

If i understand the industry then they sell the console at cost or below( rarely for a profit) and make the money back on the subscriptions and software(games). If scalpers bots etc. buy up the consoles that means there are consoles that will not be making revenue for Nintendo just sitting in someone's house. I dont understand why company's dont do something about this issue, look at how many people wanted the ps5 but scalpers got all of them at launch. All the scalped consoles could have been making Playstation(Sony) money but the money went to the scalpers.

I think when Valve launched the Steamdeck is was done well. You have to have a Valve account and purchased a game before the announcement date to qualify to preorder. I realize this is probably unfair for new users, but at least it stopped scalpers from creating a million fake day zero accounts to preorder. Nintendo has user accounts on just about everyone (yes, technically you don’t need one) - limit it to one or two per account initially so everyone has a chance to buy one first and then open it up to non accounts and retail customers.

If they succeed remains to be seen, obviously, but this is old news, my dude.

Nintendo has acknowledged the scalping problem and their claimed solution it to simply produce more than enough consoles for launch. It's a nice idea, and I assume that's partly the reason why it's taken so long to see a successor to the switch, but only time will tell if they actually manufacture enough of them. Ultimately, scalping is a symptom of our suffering economy. Everyones strapped for cash and will do whatever they can for a little extra. That includes scalping

Real answer: if they make, let's say 100 million consoles and only 40 million consoles sell lifetime, you tank the company. The only thing they could do to soft counter scalpers is to have a short period of time where nothing is released for the console until official store release date and lets people buy a console like a month early if they had an active online membership and it be one per household.

The simple answer is price point and demand. Demand is going to be higher on a product that is actually new and is actually affordable to the common consumer. A mid-generation “pro” level device is far less attractive, making it easier for Sony to keep up with demand.

It’ll only be a worry for me if mario kart 9 is a launch title. If it is, I’ll want this thing _day one_ no questions asked. If it isn’t I’ll chill & wait. Either way, I’m planning to order it on Amazon and let them do the hard work for me, as usual 🤷🏻‍♂️

15:06 And there's the problem. Can they actually produce that many, AND still release the console for FY25? 🤔 Is this why we've been blowing in the wind for far too long without any official glimpses or info on the Switch 2? 🤔🤔 Would it even matter if Nintendo was able to procure 5+ million units to twart bots and scalpers because they would still grab enough of them to cause problems? 🤔🤔🤔 It's a mess, good luck to everyone trying to buy one.

I doubt it'll be that difficult. I feel like everyone who wanted a PS5 day 1 hour 1 got one. The mass hysteria came slightly after. Just be as ready as you can. My biggest concern is 3rd party support

Definitely not true for PS5. I can confirm as in the story I told in this video, that I tried for several months to find PS5s for two of my friends. All three of us were on the lookout for months and months and I just HAPPENED to catch GameStop on a day they got a handful in. I also couldn’t find an XSX for over 6 months. It was a shit show.

@@Ruleof2Review PS5 was really not hard to cop day 1. It became a mess after day 1 sure but it was genuinely a non issue if you locked in lol. Nintendo already said they're preparing. Whether this means online members getting first pick or flooding the shelves, as soon as pre orders drop will be there minute one with my console in the checkout, maybe even try for a backup pre order on amazon just like many successful day 1 purchasers of the PS5.

Oh you can bet that most people aren't getting one of these bad boys until a year+ after release. Scalpers ALWAYS find opportunity with nintendo products, and now that scalping has gotten even worse over the years, combined with a $300ish price point? Its gonna be biblical lol.

​@@MasterStaconaIncorrect, we do know the specs with high certainty (custom Tegra on the lower-end for the current version, 12GB shared system RAM, will utilize some combination of DLSS features for upscaling, Joy-Cons will use magnetic lock system to connect instead of a rail system, and LCD screen). We don't know what it actually looks like, but we have peripheral manufacturers already taking pre-orders, so there's stuff to glean from the dimensions of cases and grips. Don't know what the storage configuration will be, backwards compatibility, and some other things. Still an enigma, but we do know things.
