I can’t believe we can finally say these words, but the Nintendo Switch 2 goes on sale next week. Yes, next week brings June 5, the day we’ll finally have our hands on the Switch 2 – if we were lucky enough to grab one during the pre-order period that is! With the market expected to be incredibly volatile for the Switch 2, due to scalpers seeking to make the most of the ability to resell at egregious prices, Yahoo! Shopping in Japan has put a warning out to its customers to let them know what to expect.
The news comes from the Switch news summary site Switch Soku in Japan, with the official message provided by Yahoo! Japan shared and discussed by Nintendo fans. In the message, Yahoo! says the Switch 2 release “is expected to cause some confusion in the trading environment due to the increasing attention and demand for the product”, before reiterating that Nintendo is already ramping up production and expected to ship out more as soon as possible. The note ends asking customers looking to buy a Switch 2 to “act calmly”, as the hype for the console will be at its highest point as we get ever closer to the launch day. Please note this message was machine translated.
It’s nice to see Yahoo!, which is a popular shopping company in Japan, delivering a message to their customers to encourage restraint and calm thinking ahead of the storm that will be the Switch 2 launch. With the release expected to be the most successful video game system launch of all time yet still unable to meet the historic level of demand, it could be a rough few days.
