Nintendo Switch 2 Widely Available Online, Ending Supply Woes

Gamers rejoice! The Nintendo Switch 2, which initially faced significant availability challenges and messy pre-order processes, is now readily accessible online from major retailers. Consumers can easily purchase the highly sought-after console from Best Buy, Target, and Walmart, with Amazon also offering it by invitation.

This improved stock situation marks a dramatic shift from the console’s launch, which had drawn comparisons to the scarcity of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X units during their respective debuts. Nintendo appears to have successfully adjusted its production to meet demand, a strategy potentially bolstered by a reported decision to delay the Switch 2’s original late-2024 launch to build inventory. This increased supply also coincided with the release of the new exclusive, Donkey Kong Bananza.

Despite its premium $449.99 price point (or $499.99 with a Mario Kart World bundle), the Switch 2 quickly shattered sales records, becoming the fastest-selling game hardware in US history. It moved an impressive 1.6 million units in its first month in the US alone, and 3.5 million globally in its first four days. With stock no longer a primary concern, the focus shifts from supply updates as Nintendo prepares for its upcoming August 1st earnings call, allowing eager buyers to finally secure their console without the previous stress.
