Do you ever just see them around? How sought after are they by the general public?

They're selling pretty well, not sure if you'd be able to find a system by itself, but there are bundles available that come with a game or two.

I've seen them in public. I never hear anyone talking about them though. It's sad!

Scalpers come into my work all the time and bitch at us for only selling them only one Switch a day.

Seems like you need to use extra effort to get them in the US and you can't just walk into any store and get one.

Japan it seems next to impossible without entering a lottery to win a chance to buy one.

In Australia it's easy to get one. Most stores have them in stock.

So it depends where you are really.

They're fairly abundant here but people scoop them up quick. Buy one if you really want it but don't buy it for one game. Think about 10 games you'll buy in the next year or two.

I saw 3 on the shelf on Walmart over the weekend, but they were the ones with red and blue joycons. Yuck.

If you really wanted one you could have one I'll put it that way.

It's just not that easy for your average mom to buy it is all.

You'll almost never find one lying around in a store like ever unless you're really lucky.

You would have to call in and time it for when they get a new shipment and hope for the best.

While I'm not looking to get one atm I do venture into the video game areas of stores. So far out of 2 Sources, 2 Electronics Boutiques, a Toys R Us, 2 Walmarts, and a variety of other places I haven't seen one for sale.

I go into Target once a week in the morning. Every time, I'll check to see if they have some in stock.

According to the employees, they tend to get around 5 every 2-3 weeks.

Since launch, I've only seen them in stock twice. Bought mine about a month ago the first time I caught them in stock.

There was two at my local target about an hour ago.
I bought mine at target last month and it was the only one in stock.
Last week my local walmart had 3 neon switches in stock.
Just check on target/walmart by giving them a call everyday. You are bound to get lucky.

I'm glad the one I found had gray joycons. I didn't even remember about the other colors.

Medicine Hat, Alberta has been getting shipments of over a dozen at just my Walmart on a biweekly basis.

This is a city of 60,000 ppl. I don't get it. But seriously, check your small cities.
