Nintendo and its US partners will start taking Nintendo Switch 2 preorders on Thursday for $449.99. When that happens, you’ll probably want to get your preorder in as soon as possible, as it sure looks like the new handheld will sell out quickly, despite reports claiming Nintendo has been preparing to deal with huge demand.
Nintendo confirmed that the initial batch of Switch 2 consoles reserved for Japan has sold out, and before you ask, it’s not scalpers who are getting them. Nintendo has an ongoing lottery in Japan where it’s taking preorders via the My Nintendo Store. However, the number of entries is significantly larger than the number of consoles Nintendo set aside for its home market.
These signs suggest other major markets will see similar preorder demand leading up to the June 5th release.
