GOOD GRIEF, you are unequivocally correct. That was a wild oversight on my part, thank you so much! The last time I played, it was God of War Saga, and that completely obscured my memory.

Still, we always strive to do our research here, and that one somehow slipped past me. Thanks a million!

That's correct, yes. It's selling very strongly right now. Scalpers are probably having a hard time moving the needle because Nintendo's stock situation is absolutely fantastic. In the United States alone, they shipped 400,000 units per month for several months in the lead-up to launch.

It's easy for "scalpers can't get their undeserved massive profits" to translate into "the system must be failing" given past trends and the utter fervor of online controversy over the Switch 2, but that doesn't square up with the financial facts at all. The console is selling like hotcakes at the moment.

Ignia Hearing multiple people say they're not buying it is absolutely a thing that can happen, but the Switch 2's sell-through eclipsed 3.5 million within four days of launch worldwide. The internet's a bubble. Not a small bubble, per se, but a bubble. The backlash is real, but it is nowhere near big enough to do what folks think it'll do. The world's hungry for Switch 2.
