If you own a Nintendo Switch, you should take good care of the console: replacement is currently only available at horrendous prices. Nintendo has been happy about good sales figures for a long time - but that the Switch could actually be sold out, something that the Japanese console manufacturer could probably only have dreamed of. The alternative: a Nintendo Switch Lite. They still exist.
The Nintendo Switch has been sold out
Already at the end of March, the sales only seemed to indicate one thing: Hurry, it's over soon! And actually it is Nintendo Switch Almost two weeks later it is no longer available – at least not at normal prices. In online shops and on auction platforms, prices sometimes rise to twice the usual rate. Even used, sellers demand more money for the Nintendo Switch than would otherwise be the new price.
Is that only in Germany? Not at all. All over the world, the Nintendo Switch has become a rare commodity - "Corona" is driving players in front of the screens. In the US, even Nintendo itself confirms the current status. Accordingly, the "Nintendo Switch is sold out at various retailers in the United States". However, further systems are already in preparation.
Analyst and industry insider Daniel Ahmad has also commented on the scarcity of the Nintendo Switch. According to him, April will be a "difficult month" in terms of the Switch offering. The situation will not recover, at least not in the short term. In May, probably more likely June - that is at least the time when German online retailers signal replenishment in their shop information - the stocks could normalize again. Nintendo is currently producing under high pressure as far as the Corona situation allows. It will probably take around two months for the population to reach a normal level.
