Waxitron_Gazer 02/26/24 6:51:16 PM #1:	Nintendo allegedly wants more time to manufacture so that there's competent stock. The Nikkei report does, however, suggest one of the reasons Nintendo has set a March 2025 release window is to ensure it can manufacture enough launch stock to satisfy demand and, therefore, combat scalpers. When the Switch launched in March 2017 it was almost impossible to get hold of, sparking a vibrant scalping market. It stands to reason Nintendo would want to avoid repeating the situation. https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-switch-2-reportedly-delayed-to-march-2025-in-part-to-combat-scalping lmfao how do they not realize that the target audience of any console the first 6 months is literally just bots and scalpers?
