GameStop: Nintendo Switch is ‘Strongest Console Launch in Years’
GameStop Senior Director of Merchandising, Eric Bright, shared his take on the Nintendo Switch launch with Game Rant, revealing how much demand there has been for the console. Bright said:
Those who have been unsuccessful at finding a Nintendo Switch in their area, or who were unable to preorder one, have had to resort to eBay and other online resale sites to find the new Nintendo console. As expected, the price for the Nintendo Switch on such sites is more than double what the console costs in retail stores.
Fortunately, as Bright confirmed, the retailer should have more of the impressive Switch console in stock soon. That said, it may be two or three weeks before some retailers once again have the Nintendo Switch in stock.
If the current demand for the Nintendo Switch continues, there shouldn’t be any trouble for Nintendo reaching its expected two million console sales in the first month. At the same time, it’s important to wait until the dust has settled before truly taking stock of the release – to see how hard to find the console is later this month, for example.

I'm not surprised either. All the hype and the Wii U was awesome so having it in a portable form like the old days would be awesome.

Skates I'm not surprised, I saw ads everywhere for this thing and the hype built up around it has been real. I myself can't wait to cop one in the future.
This. The hype surrounding the switch was crazy. No wonder it has done so well

I was in GameStop yesterday buying a PS4 and a maybe 12 year old kid was in there with his grandma and he wanted a Switch. I could feel the disappointment and sadness from him when the helper said they were sold out.
