Nintendo Switch Has Officially Sold Out

Well, we just reported that good ol' Reggie Fils-Aime explained that people shouldn't worry about a supply running dry so quickly for the Nintendo Switch.

Well... one can't help but feel a little wary after today's news that the Switch has already sold out... within three days, no less.

Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Gamestop all have closed the pre-orders. According to GameStop executive Bob Puzon:

"We're working closely with Nintendo to get additional Nintendo Switch units, and will let our customers know when they become available."

GAME UK, on the other hand, is still taking pre-orders, but you may not receive the console on launch day. According to the retailer:

"At this time we have no received official confirmation of stock allocation. Until we have our allocation confirmed by Nintendo we cannot guarantee that every order will be fulfilled for launch."

Who knows though, maybe we should believe Reggie. After all, he has said:

"What we've said publicly is that there will be 2 million units that will be shipped worldwide for the launch, essentially through month one. Two million for essentially the first month is a huge number, especially when you look and see that this is not peak seasonality. This is essentially the first three weeks of March. Our focus is making sure that the consumer who wants to buy a Nintendo Switch can buy a Nintendo Switch. That's how we build our supply chain, that's how we think through the amount of product that's available."

Even if it's completely sold out, well, there will be plenty more down the road. I'm not ready for one, considering there's only one launch title for it, which can be purchased for the Wii U (which I lack). I can wait for Breath of the Wild, considering NieR: Automata will be out that next week.
