Poll of the Day > On a whim I just tried to buy a Switch... it was sold out.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Is this usual? I'm going on vacation Friday and thought it would be fun to have one for the flight.

So, why the hell didn't you just preorder one when the price and release date was announced?

I doubt I would use it outside of the plane ride? Calm down lol.

Because, a certain game on that system that takes more than 200 hours to 100%, is perfect for a plane ride?

Because some of us have bills to pay and mouths to feed with our hard-earned money.

Tries to buy one on impulse.

YOU SHOULD HAVE ORDERED IT MONTHS AGO.

I'm thinking you don't know what impulsivity is.

I think the word whim confused him lol.

Pretty normal for now.
They've restocked them a couple of time in the last 2 months but they keep selling out within hours. I think they're up to over 3 million units sold now? They ended the fiscal year with 2.74 million shipped when they had only planned on 2 million.

Their plans are to have 10 million shipped this fiscal year.

Yes, a game to play on the plane would be perfect. That's what I said in my OP...

Maybe they wanted Puyo Puyo Tetris? Or LEGO City Undercover? It doesn't HAVE to be Zelda.

Shut up.

Good for them, competition is always good for the industry. I don't see myself trying again until next year as I know I wouldn't really use it outside of travelling. Plus ive got my eye on a Scorpio for the holidays.

Because that turned out really well for all the people with defective Switches

I can't tell you the last time I went to the video game section of a Walmart or Target, or stepped foot in a Gamestop. I buy all my content digital.

You wouldn't even make it out of the tutorial area in the span of a plane ride.

Ahh yes, because airplanes are magical and all take the same exact amount of time to reach any point in the world.

You obviously have a hard on for Zelda, but for me I was just looking to pass the time with a distraction.

Did you remember to preorder a New 2DS XL

Because those are definitely going to sell out too

Because, a system that lasts less than 2 hours unless plugged in, will last a full day?

All because Nintendo refused to market the Wii U properly, and decided to ignore a potential HDS, and went with a handheld too powerful for its own good instead.

You fly lately? Planes often have charging outlets

honestly, why does icoyar even come here anymore? I'm not saying he does/doesn't deserve the shit he gets, but I feel like any self respecting person would just leave after getting shit on any time they opened their mouth.
