I think they are cranking them out as fast as they can. Bloomberg is predicting they’ll have the largest launch sales ever, which is really just a measure of how many units they could produce.

Everybody in the industry should've learned from the PS5 launch shite storm.

Sony gets all the sbit, but XBox wasnt much better, especially a Series X. I damned near had to kill a hobo to get mine.

It's not my fault they didn't make enough bundles for me to get one on my first shot.


People want you to sell it for retail price and then let that person who bought it from you make all the money.

I was grabbing some Chinese takeout right next to a Gamestop on Thursday around 1PM and popped my head in and was surprised they actually had some pre-orders for the console only still available. Went ahead and grabbed one and a pro controller. I was going to wait but figured what the heck.

Definitely make sure to follow the @Wario64 account. I know they're posting whenever folks report that the preorders are back in stock at various places

Anyone know if us who signed up really early after direct with Nintendo itself to purchase one will have any luck?

Nintendo is notorious about not producing more than they can sell. They won’t order more be built until all of their current stock is pretty much already sold. They are a very well run company financially.

I don't believe those notices go out until after May 5 or so. There was a link to it earlier in the thread that someone found.

Yeah I hit all the criteria and signed up probably 45 mins to an hour after the direct so hopefully it’ll hit.

I was initially concerned that Walmart might be scanning for duplicate orders, but thankfully my 2 are different. They're both the MKW bundles, but the larger order has the Pro 2 controllers and the compatible SD card, so hopefully they don't flag anything.

I’ve been checking up on my 2 orders everyday to make sure they didn’t get cancelled. All good so far!!

I just hope Walmart actually delivers on release day!! I’m planning to drive 600 miles to surprise hand deliver it to my Mom.
