The Nintendo Switch 2's second month on the market was another explosive one, at least in the U.S., where it surpassed 2 million units sold life-to-date, putting it 75% ahead of the unit sales pace set by the Nintendo Switch 1.
I am curious to know how many went to scalpers and influencers/YouTubers. I am also interested in seeing how fast it drops off.
I don’t personally know anyone that has one, and I am not seeing them out in the wild like I saw the Switch 1 just 2 months after it launched. So either all of them went to people who dont live in my area (high population West USA county) or all the people that have them never take them outside. Which is strange since I see Switch 1 consoles fairly often. Mostly Switch Lites.
Look up some scalper listings. No one’s making money scalping the Switch 2. Nintendo has met the demand with supply. It’s not like the XSX and PS5 where people were buying them up and selling them for twice as much. Scalpers now are just trying to break even. You might almost feel sorry for them.

I might, but I seem to have misplaced my world’s tiniest violin, unfortunately.
