This is Furukawa. To deliver the “Nintendo Switch 2” to everyone, we have procured many components in advance and have been progressing with production. On April 2nd, we announced the details of the “Nintendo Switch 2” and started accepting applications for the lottery sale at the My Nintendo Store, and as a result, we received applications from approximately 2.2 million people just in Japan, which greatly exceeded our initial expectations. However, this significantly exceeds the quantity of “Nintendo Switch 2” consoles that can be delivered from the My Nintendo Store on June 5th. Therefore, it is with great regret that we anticipate a considerable number of customers will not win in the lottery announcement scheduled for tomorrow, April 24th.

In the My Nintendo Store, to avoid the hassle of reapplying for those who were not selected in the first lottery sale, we will automatically carry over those who were not selected in the first lottery sale to the second lottery sale for a chance to win.

(Skipped)

Moreover, there are plans to produce and ship a significant number of “Nintendo Switch 2” in the future. We sincerely apologize for the time it will take until we can meet your expectations, and we kindly ask for your understanding.

It hits!

If it’s red, strange things come to me, so maybe monochrome is better.

It’s an Atari!

Nunnu~n

Japanese people play games too much, don’t you think?

2.2 million units times 50,000 yen equals 110 billion yen.

Well, it’s not like you can prepare all of that at once…

>>7

There is no previous thread.

In the previous thread, they were saying that the volume of the box is bigger than Tokyo Dome!

>>9

Don’t believe what an anonymous person says.

Those who were shouting about everyone winning.

What was the number of units produced that took the risk, after all?

I thought it was Sato from Tombow Pencil.

I’m waiting for the WiiU2.

The Mario Kart bundle is available only until the end of this year!

Please win in every single one!

They say they have 8 million units prepared worldwide, so 2.2 million just for Japan won’t be enough.

Since the launch is Mario Kart, it’s helpful that it won’t be too much of a problem if it’s not available on the release date.

It helps to be mentally prepared.

I’ll relax and wait while playing, Switch1.

Does this automatic rollover mean that the initial sales figure of 2.2 million is confirmed…?

>>19

According to the text, there seems to be a demand for 2.2 million units, but it appears that they can’t provide them solely through My Nintendo.

>>19

It’s omitted, but it seems that even the second time won’t reach 2.2 million.

>>19

Even if we distribute the second batch, we won’t be able to handle it.

>>19

I told you that not everyone will hit!

Thank you so far, Anonymous…

It’s like saying that everyone will win.

It was them who broke the premise.

It might be a while before anyone other than me can get a Switch 2?

If a cat appears, I’ll win!!

I don’t have any achievements or store cards, so I’ll just wait leisurely.

I think I had around 500,000 just for my own account.

2.2 million people came.

It’s impossible.

Will the second lottery delivery be a little delayed from the release date?

The thread for those who were not selected is helpful.

If a switch comes out, I will win.

If the ID contains two or more of the characters “s,” “w,” “i,” “t,” “c,” “h,” or “2,” you will win.

Well, there’s nothing I want to do at launch, so it’s fine… it’s fine…

Well, it’s a good thing that there’s an official declaration.

I’ll stubbornly keep applying for the lottery, thinking that I’ll fall every time.

I wanted to play Breath of the Wild ED2.

I was only looking at the Shy Guy, so I reserved the standalone version, but I’m thinking about switching to Mario Kart if I miss out… I’m in a dilemma.

I hit! You guys go ahead!

Did I hit? You guys go ahead!

Did you hit? You guys went ahead?

I need to prepare my mental training thoroughly…

Switch 2 is coming out!

I will… kill logistics!

How many units were prepared for the first lottery…?

If you hit, you win!

I will apply for the lottery at Bic Camera.

By feeling down now, I can reduce tomorrow’s damage.

I wonder if they are sending out messages like this for overseas as well.

I don’t even know if they’re making reservations in other countries.

Life has more joys than just this, and there will be more opportunities ahead, so don’t be so pessimistic.

Who is the idiot that said everyone would win?

Tomorrow is the gacha update day for the social game, so it’s fine for you to hit the ceiling over there, but I want to win over here.

I guess I didn’t stock up too much thinking it would sell slowly.

>>54

There are limits to production capacity and storage.

Well, it can’t be helped.

Let’s just get ready to add “del” to the lucky anonymous one.

Did you really think something like that would hit?

I wonder if it was necessary to mention the total number of applications…

>>58

It is clear that this number is obviously abnormal compared to past shipping numbers, so I think it was necessary.

>>58

If I don’t say it, people will say, “You talked big, but you probably didn’t make that much anyway, right?”

So I am making it public like this.

You said everyone would win…!!

>>59

If I had said that, we wouldn’t do it in a lottery format!!!!

If it had been more than two years of online membership, it might have been possible to set a proper cutoff, but with just about a year, the hurdle wasn’t that high…

Don’t chirp.

We just need to make 2.2 million Switch 2 units by the release date.

Those who say ridiculous things will be dealt with, and anyone who touches them will also be dealt with.

I’m playing Hogwarts on PS Plus, so it will be delayed.

Please recommend some games to clear before I get my hands on Switch 2.

I haven’t opened the software yet, so there’s also Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Tears of the Kingdom.

>>64

This guy is a pervert who buys refills and deep pies!

Realistically, even if we prepare for a domestic version of a million units, about 70-80% will go to retail.

>>65

It’s not just 70-80%, even selling 10% on our own is generally a lot.

Nintendo is not a retailer.

I didn’t expect to see such sad news the day before.

I got 2 machines, but do you need a nameless one? (shoo)

I got two, but do you need a nameless one? (shoo)

I registered for now just because I have the right, but I’m worried about what to do if I win.

What was that about preparing an incredible number?

>>72

Don’t you think that preparing a huge number wasn’t enough?

>>79

I heard that they are preparing around 2 million units…

>>92

Still, we’re still short by 200,000 units…

>>92

There’s no way I can prepare it just with my skills!

>>92

Don’t let 200,000 people fall…

>>83

Well, if you start taking reservations in advance, people will definitely focus on it…

>>72

I prepared an amazing number.

2.2 million is prohibited by the rules, right?

It’s nice to be made to think that it won’t hit anyway.

Such a…

The reason why minor hardware sells so well…

Even if we prepare 2 million including retail, is that sane? To have 2.2 million just from My Nintendo…

I wonder if I’ll get an ID if I reply in tomorrow’s thread saying “I won a Miho Nakayama goods!”

I’m going to change it.

There are 2.2 million people eligible to apply just in Japan…

It seems I should have prepared a credit card from the electronics store for situations like this.

Was the condition still insufficient…?

There were a few people saying they couldn’t make reservations because they weren’t online, but it was just a sophisticated information war after all…

In situations like this, it’s usually not accurate, so I’ll just observe from a distance.

(Well, I do hit it…)

I want to know the number of applications that was expected to come out in total.

Is it at a level where even Don Quijote has to impose restrictions?!?!!!?

dice1d220=

218 (218)

Around 1-10

Other death

Huh… am I not getting it…?

I thought there were the most official ones…

Those who don’t win lack virtue.

I casually said that it might be around 20% accurate in the evening officially.

If I consider around 400,000 units, I think that is probably about the limit.

Mr. Elephant! Mr. Elephant!

Retailers must be feeling more overwhelmed than they ever imagined right now.

I wonder how many units can be produced in a day.

It means that the server of this site is down.

Is it possible to gather that many people under conditions that aren’t too strict but not too lenient either?

It seems my main Splatoon isn’t going to be out for a while.

I will wait patiently until the end of the year…

It seems that all the major YouTubers somehow have it and are likely doing giveaway events.

Ha—I’ve fallen, fallen. Let’s switch gears, damn it!!!

Well, even with a rough estimate, the winning rate would be around 5% to 20%.

I guess I’ll think of it as just lucky if I can get through the lottery hell with a one-in-a-million chance.

Honestly, I was thinking that everyone would win, so I’m really sad.

I saw this and made an Ion credit card.

There’s a Welcia in front of the house, so it’s probably fine…

You guys go ahead!

Retail is imposing tighter restrictions.

Sales in the first week by historical hardware

DC: 100,000 PS2: 630,000

GBA: 610,000 GC: 130,000

NDS: 440,000 PSP: 160,000

PS3: 80,000 Wii: 370,000

3DS: 370,000 PS Vita: 320,000

WiiU: 300,000 PS4: 320,000

Switch: 330,000 PS5: 110,000

“People who say ‘You said you have a sufficient number prepared’ should take another look at the number 2.2 million.”

>>116

If it’s like this, I could make 500,000 or a million copies and have a lot! I would definitely say that.

>>116

Even if we can produce 2 million, it seems there might be another bottleneck below 1 million.

>>116

Even 1 million units is quite an adventure, isn’t it?

It’s my mistake that I didn’t spend 20,000 and go for the multilingual version.

>>117

It seems that even multiple languages may not be enough.

>>117

By the way, I’m also curious about the outcome of Sakurai’s election.

What were you thinking that a successor model to a device that sold 150 million units would be sufficient at just 2 million?

Well, I understand that even if the line operates at full capacity, it’s not like we can prepare that many units of the main body.

>>118

Do you think everyone will buy it?

Isn’t it that we’re all guessing it’s not Switch 2…?

I don’t want to get into a reservation war in retail, so whether I hit or miss here is pretty significant.

Tomorrow, it might turn into a situation like the first day of the Nintendo Store at various retail sites.

Do you think people who have been playing on Switch Online for over a year would resell it? You?

The fact that those who were eliminated are automatically entered into the second lottery is somewhat… compassionate?

Whether it hits or not is another matter.

>>125

I wanted to be able to choose the product!

It’s the end──

It’s becoming like Ichigo.

Considering that the old Switch sold a total of 33 million units in Japan over 7 years, it’s understandable that there was a rush of 2.2 million pre-orders.

This… it’s just that I can’t do anything about it, but you actually anticipated it, right?

To speak seriously,

The initial sales of the Switch in Japan were 330,000 units, while the PS5 sold 160,000 units.

Switch2 probably has quite a bit of inventory, but even so, 500,000 units is physically difficult.

Considering that we are also thinking about distributing to retail, there should be about 200,000 units in official stock, so I think the probability of winning is around 1 in 10.

In other words, I will hit.

>>132

It’s still too early to become a monster! Calm down.

Yodobashi!!!

Hurry up with the conditions!

Unlike during the previous Switch era, Nvidia is really making a splash now, so they probably didn’t get much chip production.

>>136

It seems like NVDA would gladly produce 5,000 units given the current dire situation.

>>158

NVIDIA is no longer interested in primarily focusing on gaming.

I didn’t want the number of rivals in retail to increase…

Are you saying that while you are aware of the number of applicants holding rights, it was unexpected for everyone to apply?

>>138

They are underestimating consumers too much.

>>151

There’s no store that makes and sells products right up to the limit of what’s possible to sell.

Nintendo: “Could it be that we are unexpectedly being anticipated?”

Move! I am a Joshin VIP Smile member!!

Do you really think everyone will win? Are you living in a fantasy?

When you experience a situation where resale scalpers are overflowing and you can’t buy a Switch, of course everyone will rush in.

If everyone wins, it might be a loss, but with this, it looks like I can get out with 100,000, so I will participate in the lottery for all the retail applications.

In the end, how many units were sufficient?

Is 500,000 a lot?

Actually, it can’t be created infinitely in a physical sense.

Switch2 It’s not scary if everyone takes it off.

I really won easily! I shouldn’t brag about that.

There’s probably not much that absolutely can’t be done without starting at 2, so I’m not in a hurry.

I was completely planning to wait, you know?

Winner

Anonymous

All except for one have won.

I understand that the name hasn’t changed much, so the pattern of Wii → Wii U might have flashed through your mind a bit.

>>155

However, consumers are already accustomed to that pattern with the PlayStation!!!

It seems that the stricter retail conditions have a higher probability…

Even if you have 2 million prepared…

The means to deliver on the release date is very

If you say something foolish tomorrow, it will rain blood!

It seems like posting it on Med might go viral, but it could also cause a backlash.

>>160

It’s scary to be a celebrity because you might be suspected of collusion.

There are so many well-known online stores in Japan.

When including ordinary retail, even overseas, it seems that the official allocation for Japan is only about 1%.

It somehow reminds me of the Sharp mask lottery sales.

I think we are producing quite a bit, but there is a limit to the amount we can flow into logistics and deliver by the specified date.

A sad incident could occur if a child who got something brags about it outside.

There are various limitations from manufacturing to warehousing to transportation…

I definitely want to guess it because I will get the ID if I do.

Cat

Speaking of which, how does automatic rollover lottery work for payments?

>>169

The lottery is for the right to proceed with the purchase.

>>169

When you receive the winning email and complete the purchase procedure at the link, the payment will be processed.

>>169

I’ll choose the payment method after it hits, so that’s separate.

>>169

Payments are to be made within about two weeks.

At that time, it felt like there were quite a few people who were just waiting and observing Switch1.

>>170

I just bought it normally on the release day at an electronics retail store and took it home.

I had plenty of time.

>>170

It was after the Wii U, you know…

>>170

I feel like I was in a reservation war about half a year after it was released.

But I believe I will hit it…

If it hits, then it’s all unnecessary worry.

The Switch2 hunting will begin.

I’ve been pulling 10 consecutive draws for limited-time social games recently… Do you understand what that means?

I am using up a lot of my luck this year.

>>181

The probability of the past is 100%, so it does not affect the probabilities of the future.

I am a valuable customer who not only bought the Switch but also purchased the Wii U on its release date, so please let me through.

Even if we know how much will sell, delivering 2.2 million units all at once on June 5th is impossible.

With news like this, the resale price is going to be outrageous because there will definitely be buyers.

>>186

Even the initial 50,000 yen PS5 was being resold and bought for 100,000 yen.

If there are so many people who want the Switch 2, then they could probably set a higher price! There’s a high possibility they’ll do that.

Well, if that’s the price for a domestic-only product, then it probably won’t be very profitable to begin with… so I think it’s normal to reduce the quantity.

After the release, it will be fine to ship them as soon as they’re made.

>>188

If you don’t intend to popularize it, why set such a price?

If it’s a carryover, then even reservations made at other stores might end up winning, right?

Please make the Yodobashi lottery exclusive to those who have spent over 100,000 yen using a Yodobashi card.

Of course it’s going to hit.

Because we are both 3DS ambassadors and Wii U users! WOOOOOO!

>>192

Oh, that happened… the 3DS price drop incident.

Disclosing data that allows for various inferences such as the number of subscribers seems to show quite a bit of sincerity.

Well… I still have a ton of games piled up on my Switch…

What’s tough about not buying it on My Nintendo is that the SD Card Express is ridiculously expensive.

>>195

I think it’s futile for someone who doesn’t have enough with the built-in 256GB to buy a 256GB SD card…

Since the rumors spread about how terrifyingly complete Breath of the Wild is, the competition for getting the console has gradually begun.

It seems like they were prepared with around a million or so based on the way they phrased it.

>>197

Well, at this rate, it seems like around 600,000 in total, doesn’t it?

There may be a portion that goes to retail as well.

It would be bad if we only had as many as the Switch.

About one in a dozen people?

This can’t be helped; instead, it feels refreshing.

All that’s left is to keep applying every time there’s a lottery.

>>199

If you are not selected in the first round, you will be automatically entered.

It also means that even if you say you don’t need a MariCar, you can’t cancel it.

>>202

It’s a great deal because you can’t cancel, but you don’t have to buy it!

However, the hype leading up to the release has been really good this time.

>>200

The satisfaction from Switch2 Direct was intense.

I guess it’s fine to just wait until Nintendo hands it over to me…

It’s not good to raise expectations too high directly.

I should have acted more uninteresting.

Deltarune can be played on PS5, so I forgive it…

In the first month, the Switch sold 2.47 million units worldwide, and 600,000 units in Japan.

When I think about it, even considering the talk of 7 million units in the first month, the domestic limit might be around 1.8 million units in the first month, right?

The second round is said to be automatically applied for, but is it the same for the third round and beyond?

I want the winners to be linked to the units at the time of factory shipment.
