Considering the game uk pre orders are still up I don't think getting a pre order in is going to be too hard in general.
The fact that UK pre-orders are still available tell you everything you need to know about how people feel about this model.
it's probably just as bad for ps5, not quite as bad for xsx because it's had trickling stock for a while so as long as you are keeping an eye out you can get one.
It's been the same with the OG Switch (preorders not being hard to get in the first days, probably due to the reactions to the January reveal), and the rest is history.Considering the game uk pre orders are still up I don't think getting a pre order in is going to be too hard in general.
Nothing in sight...
Yeah if it is around €350,- it is a better sale. but I don't know what the standard price of the v2 switch is in spain? Because in the netherlands it is around 329(some stores 319)350€? That's actually a pleasant surprise if that turns out to be the standard price across Europe. That's only 20€ more than the 330€ the current Switch usually goes for. For that, the new Switch would actually be a very nice replacement for the current model for everyone looking into buying a Switch.
Yes, I'm actually surprised about the 350€ price point. If you don't have a Switch, it seems to be a no-brainer to get the OLED version for 20€ more. I'm curious how the regular Switch will sell without this 50€ gap in some countries. In France, it is priced at 330€.350€?

It's EMMI colored, so it'll spike you in your throat if it hears you talking shit
It's going to sell, just (imo) not significantly more than had this model not existed... Imo most of those that will buy it would have bought a new Switch anyway around the same time.People still thinking this isn't going to sell lots and lots like everything Switch related are cute. Same song and dance everytime.

Ah, you're right, I didn't check but the price seems to be hovering around 299€ for most stores for some time now. I was checking Micromania in France but they are known to have higher prices than the competition and they kept 329€. So the 350€ makes sense in that context then.You could find the NSW at 299€ or less than that since day 1.
There may have been a few times where scarcity was a real thing and it went up but I certainly wouldn't consider 330€ the standard price.
Price for the past year for example
That's sort of where I'm at too. Nintendo's sales forecast included this, but seemed like a reasonable number they could have hit this year even if this wasn't a thing.It's going to sell, just (imo) not significantly more than had this model not existed...

Never saw the switch here in the netherlands under 300. And at launch it was 329 everywhere. You could get it lower priced from other european countries. Like Belgium or France, if they send it to the Netherlands. But the standard price was at least at launch 330 here.You could find the NSW at 299€ or less than that since day 1.

I agree with you on the purpose of this model, but disagree that it will necessarily keep sales at the high level that they are. As I wrote "most of those that will buy it would have bought a new Switch anyway around the same time", so by implication IF less people were going to buy the $300 model this holiday season then this model will not change that trend in any significant way. Imo of course.The point of the device is to keep sales at the high level they are for some times longer than it would have been without it, not to reverse the curve so yeah.
👀Looks like game uk have stopped taking pre orders for the white.

It is my belief that the percentage who were not going to buy a new Switch this year and now will buy one is negligible. What it WILL do is bring in more revenue, but IF this was supposed to delay any expected downwards trend, this or next year, I believe that won't work for Nintendo.
Don't be an arsehole. I'm not saying it won't sell lots. I think it'll sell well and might get one myself.
I'm just comparing this to whenever there is stock for PS5 or Series X and they sell out almost instantly.
Yes, it's just the UK and it might not be as supply contained as the new gen consoles, but I expected them to be gone already.

Yeah the Switch's regular price is 330€ supposedly, and I got it at launch at 290€ (just looked and it was 294,74€ exactly) from Amazon France.You could find the NSW at 299€ or less than that since day 1.

Out of stock. White edition looks like it will be harder to get hold of. Waiting for a Shopto or Amazon preorder.
