Summary
- Nintendo aims to avoid Switch 2 stock shortages, hindering scalpers.
- The company argues that the semiconductor shortage has been resolved, allowing for increased Switch 2 production.
- Switch 2's release date remains uncertain, but we know that it will be before early 2025.
Nintendo is already trying to stop scalpers from going after the Switch's successor. Speaking with shareholders, the company says that it is confident that it will avoid the stock shortages that were felt during the Switch's run, making it harder for scalpers to take advantage of buyers.
This comes directly from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa, who says that with the semiconductor shortage out of the way, the company can aim to make enough Switch 2 models to meet demand. He says that this should be enough to stop scalpers from reselling the Switch 2 for inflated prices, as we've seen across the industry this console generation.
Part Shortages Won't Affect The Switch 2, Says Nintendo's President
"Last year and the year before, we were unable to produce sufficient quantities of Nintendo Switch hardware due to a shortage of semiconductor compone📖nts, but this situation has now been resolved," says Furukawa, speaking with investors (as spotted by ). “At present, we do not believe that the shortage of components will have a significant impact on the production of the successor model.”
That "successor model" is often referred to as the Switch 2, but that isn't actually the confirmed name for the console. We know it exists, and we know that it will be 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:announced by at least early 2025, but right now, we're still waiting for the console to be unveiled by Nintendo.
Of course, even if Nintendo is hopeful that it can supply enough stock to meet demand, that doesn't mean that scalpers won't try to profit from the Switch 2's release anyway. As we see throughout the industry, resellers are always trying to see what they can get away with, inflating the prices of everything 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:from consoles and games, to even 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:codes for beta testing periods. So, we can eไxpect some to try and resell the Switch 2 on sites like eBay when the console finally launches. Hopefully, though, Nintendo can ma♌intain enough stock to stop these scalpers from being the only way fans can secure a console.
As for the Switch 2's announcement, we'll just have to keep waiting. Nintendo has already confirmed that it's skipping Gamescom this year, so it's possible that it will host its own reveal towards the end of the year.
