The problem with this is the system is essentially designed for sneaker scalpers.

I didn't even get a switch until ToTK was about to release, you ain't gotta tell me twice. As far as I'm concerned nintendo consoles are basically just Zelda machines at this point.

Because what most people wanted out of the switch 2 was a more powerful switch that was also backwards compatible. And that's exactly what the switch 2 is

So if you're impatient, you might delve into this market

That still doesn't justify buying it scalped.

If that's on eBay, you can report those because they aren't selling a product that can be delivered within 30 days.

This!

High demand, low supply, always create a scalpers market.

Nintendo could increase supply.... but that might bring their profits down.

Gamers could refuse to buy from scalpers... but that might mean waiting a little longer for that 'new thing'

There are things we could do to stop scalpers... but no one wants to do them, so the 'problem' continues.

Not surprised the scalpers have already started. Hopefully they get stuck holding the bag, like those assholes that were scalping toilet paper and sanitizer during the pandemic.

Sure if they were only selling one. Scalpers usually sell in bulk though. Like that one guy that had like a dozen PS5's.

He was bragging about how much money he made scalping PS5s, and I mentioned that I wanted to buy one but couldn't get it because people kept buying them up too fast. He got this really proud look on his face and said "You could have bought one from a scalper!" and I told him flat out that I believe scalpers are assholes who don't deserve to make any money at all by exploiting others, and if karma existed, they should be forced to pay double for everything they buy for themselves, including food or putting gas in their car.

I could see it in his expression that he was trying to figure out how to twist that into an HR complaint.

Even if Nintendo never sold another Mario Kart bundle, why would someone spend a $200+ dollar premium to buy it from a scalper to save $30 on Mario Kart?
