It's difficult to find one and even if a shipment comes in somebody snatches it up before you.

Switch already has way too much demand and not enough supply, and Game Freak thought this was the perfect time to announce a Switch game?

What a load of shit.

This has nothing to do with being poor. I have the money to buy it. It's just that there are so few of them in stock. And it's a fucking rat race with the hundreds of other people who want a few Switches that are actually shipped.

Furthermore, there's no guarantee the Switch's supply problems will be resolved by 2018. When Nintendo foolishly decides to use the same parts as tech giant Apple, Nintendo and other smaller comps have to go without. And because Nintendo can't find a substitute, we are stuck with shortages.

>>32966079
No shit, because I mentioned in the OP that people snatch them up before I can get it.

But I am also not the only one who experiences this shit. Countless people are looking for Switches and can't even find one in a 100-mile radius.

Nintendo has supply problems and can't meet demand, and now demand will skyrocket due to Pokemon and other IPs being on Switch.

It's a good thing the games won't be out until november 2018 at the very earliest

There's plenty other reasons to hate on this, like paid online, 60 dollar carts, no second screen for UI, no touch screen unless in portable mode, 2 hour battery life, etc.

How is "60 dollar carts" a problem? Flash memory is both faster and more expansive than discs, and everyone else already charges $60 for their games.

because knowing gamereak they won't justify that extra 20 dollars. Sre, I'd happily pay 60 if they put effort into their games, like if it had good post game, and better production values, and they would fix some of those shitty looking models, but odds are they are just going to shit out another region and say "sorry, if you want all of that extra post game content, just buy the third 60 dollar version in a year!"

If they end up charging 60 dollars, they can't keep doing this "third version price gouging" bullshit. Especially in the age of DLC

Switch games are like $80-90 each here.
Can't you afford 60?
Also paid online won't probably be for Pokemon but for other games like rocket league etc

If you just want pokemon or any game that's not out yet, you don't need the switch right now. Be patient.

If there are games you want now. Then yeah, that must suck. Amazon.com had some up today though, so good for whoever got one.

Bro. The Wii U was dead with no hopes for revival.

Cutting ties to the Wii U isn't greed. It's good business sense. Don't get ass blasted just cause you bought into a dead console market.

You realize you have, at the very least, a year and a half to procure a Switch for yourself, right?

Why the fuck are you in a rush to buy one now, especially when they're currently having quality control issues with them? And this is Nintendo we're talking about. There is going to be a New Nintendo Switch XL+ in a few years. It might even launch alongside Pokemon if it ends up coming in 2019 instead.

tl;dr: save money and wait

I work at Target(and no I'm not bragging, end my fucking life senpai) and have had multiple opportunities to buy a second Switch, which would be silly because I don't need one and I'm not reseller scum, but I have had ample opportunity.
