If I can’t make a second reservation, it will be difficult to do it within this year, right?

I’m disappointed in the pathetic big mouth who can’t secure even a measly 2.2 million.

>>6

I didn’t say that we can prepare 2.2 million just with the official resources!

I’m concerned that Yodobashi hasn’t started taking reservations yet.

I guess I need to be online during the secondary period as well.

I only bought one month because I intended to pass it on the first try.

Maybe MyNin just doesn’t have as much volume as everyone is expecting.

Even at that time, I could never buy anything there.

I think that even if we work hard, we can only produce about 50,000 to 100,000 units per month starting from this initial shipment.

Given the ratio, I don’t think it will reach 2.2 million even after a year.

>>11

I have researched the annual hardware sales figures in the country.

>>11

Even if we produce 200,000 units per month, which is double that number, it’s impossible to distribute them all within the year.

It’s a terrifying story…

>>11

The Switch is still selling at least 50,000 units every week, and at its peak, it was selling over 100,000 units weekly, but it is harmless.

Those who did not win the lottery this time have only two choices: to buy from resellers or to take it from them.

Let’s believe they are making plans for mass production for the Christmas shopping season.

Since I made reservations everywhere I could, I’m feeling like if I get multiple hits, I’ll buy them all and sell them off.

What is this, an advertisement for resellers?

The Switch has a maximum of 6 million a year, so it depends on how you look at it.

>>21

I had believed that if we were to secure a sufficient number, we could at least prepare this much.

>>26

Am I stupid?

What! They’re only selling Switch 2 through the official store without distributing it to retailers or online shopping sites at all!?

Well then, I guess it’s about time for me to apply…

It’s annoying that I have to continue an online service that I don’t even use for a few hundred yen, not towards Nintendo, but towards those who won…!

I wonder what percentage of the total is given to retail.

Earning 50,000 to 100,000 yen every week is one thing, but making 50,000 to 100,000 yen every month is a bit hard to think about.

(Well, it’ll probably hit somewhere)

What I dislike is that many people who can participate in all the places that start accepting reservations, including other retailers, will emerge, and ultimately, it is likely that I won’t be able to buy from the official source.

The Switch produced 150.86 million units in 8 years.

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/finance/hard_soft/index.html

DS had annual sales only within Japan.

I’ve been to about 9 million units or so.

I want you to make that much!

If the cost is 40,000 yen, I heard that with just the 2.2 million applicants in Japan, it would be 88 billion yen, enough to build two Skytree towers.

Nasonin

Shall I just wait until I can buy it at the regular price on Amazon?

>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/finance/hard_soft/index.html

That’s the world, right?

You should be able to know how many people fit the conditions if it’s Nintendo, so why…

It should be manageable within the year.

For now, keep drawing automatically until I get it.

If we’re talking about a sufficient number, I wanted it to be such that everyone who meets the conditions can reserve and buy it…!

How many is considered enough…?

Maybe the sales in the first week will be

I think it will become the overwhelming number one in the history of game consoles.

Still, it can’t keep up with the demand…

What is the reason for Yodobashi not having any updates on the main unit reservations?

>>45

While the lottery reservation acceptance for retail stores will be lifted on the 24th, it’s not mandatory, so in fact, it can start anytime after the 24th.

I applied for an Amazon invitation request…

I also tried to apply at the used book market, but the page isn’t responding…

I can hold back because the game I want to play is not scheduled yet…

I wanted to try out the Pro Controller 2.

I wanted to play Soul Calibur again after a long time.

If it comes to this, we’ll gather at the house of the person who won.

Do you really want it that much on the release date?

>>50

I want to do it.

>>50

Rather, it’s precisely because it’s the release date that I want it, and if I can’t get it by then, my enthusiasm will cool significantly.

>>50

If you miss the release date of Mario Kart, it will turn from an unknown wilderness that no one knows into a meadow trampled by someone, overflowing with known information.

Come to my house.

I have a Pro Controller 2.

It’s probably difficult to prepare a number of them because they have more parts and higher costs than older hardware.

I’m counting on you… Yamada!

Think in the opposite way.

I received fifty thousand yen from Nintendo.

In this case, the one with the highest possibility is Yodobashi, which has credit cards, so I’m really counting on you.

It’s scary that there are so many people who think it’s only prepared for MyNin…

The world is too harsh for the unemployed, with many conditions attached even in lotteries…

Sell only after you have enough to reach all of humanity.

The Yodobashi server is weak, you know…

Do you want it that badly on the release date? → Shine Post is now a guideline.

>>67

Thinking about it now, the Switch2 launch exclusive seems pretty crazy…

>>78

But I think Konami’s sales strategy is a huge success and their business acumen is impressive.

Switch2 became a social phenomenon before its release, and it was introduced in the Switch2 Direct as part of its launch.

That’s how we gained worldwide recognition, so there’s no other advertising effect like this.

It’s about time to play on the Virtual Switch 2…

I’m glad that major RPGs that are scary with spoilers are not launching yet.

>>69

I see, there’s no spoilers or anything; launching Mario Kart.

Nintendo thinks that far…

Even when everything is added up for a moment, it’s probably around 300,000 at most; that’s an insane ratio, right?

Which one did everyone get?

I’d like to buy the games I want when I can, but since there’s no guarantee I can get them, if there’s a chance to obtain them, I just want to buy them now while I can.

Well… if it’s like made-to-order production… then I wouldn’t need to rush into action as long as they definitely sell it when I want to play the game…

I want it by Bonanza!

But I really want it on the release date!

I have 300 games on Steam that I’m stuck on, so I’ll buy it after I finish those.

I have supported Nintendo hardware since the days of Hanafuda, so why…

A portion of the people who are angry now will become the winners in retail and laugh at the losers.

Moreover, there are a few percent who win multiple times and start thinking, “Hey, maybe I’ll sell one of the cars on Mercari!”

>>77

If a world where it’s permissible to smash the heads of resale vendors and take things from them were to emerge…

Is there really no crazy place that sells them on a first-come, first-served basis at the store on the release date…?

It’s clever of Book Off to use Google Forms… It would definitely crash on their own server.

There was a Wii U version of Breath of the Wild even when the Switch launched.

>>83

It’s nostalgic playing over there.

To be honest, I don’t feel like I’ll win at all in the second lottery either.

>>84

If we consider it as the cancellations from the first round and the additional production, it’s really not that much.

>>92

It will probably be less than the first portion combined.

Konami’s Bomberman for the Switch launch is

They seem to have gotten a taste for launch exclusivity since it sold reasonably well.

I’m glad today is Saturday.

It’s coming to my heart so much that I’m surprised myself.

Drinking heavily until morning.

I can’t fall asleep because I’m irritated.

It seems like I was looking forward to it more than I thought.

Originally, 2.2 million applicants have met the conditions this time, so those who did not meet the conditions will be entering the lottery from now on…

>>90

From now on, people will swarm into retail stores in order of the loosest conditions.

The Switch 2 will probably have the most early adopters in the history of gaming consoles.

Originally, early adopters are a group that is supposed to be taken on by geeks.

>>100

It’s tough because even if the conditions aren’t too strict, it’s not possible to achieve things like creating a credit card at local shops or spending a certain amount annually, so the number of stores I can apply to is significantly limited.

I hope that those who couldn’t buy it will be able to buy it easily in the future.

>>91

“Did you buy it?”

I have a strong desire to secure them for the upcoming new Zelda and new 3D Mario games and feel at ease.

And of course, I want to play Donkey Kong too…

The recommended section of X is amazing; endless updates on unknown otaku and Vtubers’ results keep flowing in, making it easy to block them.

>>97

Don’t become Yuichi Nakamura in your heart.

>>97

It sounds like it would be more fun to just buy some bubble wrap and keep popping it.

For now, it’s fine to just play Mario Kart when it hits, and there’s no need to rush since there are games I want to play on the Switch that can be done in the second installment.

It’s fine even if it’s not just within this year, but also around this time next year…

I’m not envious at all… I’m not envious at all…

I will stick with the domestic version on Rakuten Books while switching the official store to the multilingual version.

I’m going to become a famous streamer and definitely get a Switch 2！！！！

How much production did Nintendo cut back on…?

>>102

On the contrary, we’ve been operating the Switch 2 line at full capacity since last October.

>>102

I think we reached the limit of our transportation capacity…

I wonder if party games that don’t require performance like Momotetsu will become exclusive to Switch 2.

I was annoyed, but this has eased it a bit.

Well, if you line up at the store on the day, it should be easy.

Why has this game console become so popular?

I could easily buy things back in the days of the Wii U and PS4.

>>109

Since the PS3 era, it’s gone beyond just selling stuff! It seems like the jokes are starting to kick in.

>>114

Isn’t that in-store? I made a reservation online.

>>114

I’m sorry, but I don’t remember much from the PS3 days because I was still in elementary school…

>>127

It’s okay to become a sad kid whose memories are erased because they were bought by their parents, right?

There are retailers with 320 units in a single store, even though they are large stores.

I think the shipment volume is quite high, but the demand is too crazy.

>>113

Currently supplying 320 units to a single store of Ito-Yokado, a regular supermarket, with the potential for future increases.

I think it will be amazing if more units go to electronics retailers and stores that had high sales records for the Switch in the past.

>>113

After seeing the number 2.2 million,

It seems.

Ken

That’s how it is.

I want all games released to be multi-platform.

When the PS5 was released, it was only available for purchase in-store with a credit card, and I was able to buy it on a weekday…

I wish I could do it like that.

Well, even if I can’t buy it on the release date, there’s still a chance, right?

I mean, for the second time, please set it to at least 500 hours online.

Maybe that would reduce applications.

I feel that the speed of content consumption in the age of social media is encouraging people to rush their purchases.

When someone says they won, it creates friction, so everyone is pretending to have lost, right?

There’s really no reason to sell hardware at retail since it can just be sold through software retail, so it’s fine to keep it exclusive for the time being.

>>121

There is no reason to intentionally make retail adversarial.

>>131

But by passing it on to retail, you’re turning consumers against you, right?

>>134

Consumers just need to be able to buy where they can.

>>131

In the first place, Nintendo is the one that bows its head and asks retailers or mass merchants to carry our products.

During the decline period of Nintendo hardware from the 64 to the GameCube, retailers like Yokado and electronics mass retailers purchased a certain amount.

Thanks to being displayed in the store, we were able to avoid a deficit; there’s a history of mutual support and love between us.

I won, but I’m also applying to a lot of retail jobs, so let’s do our best together.

Isn’t the only conclusion from this just a bald person?

>>124

You’re drunk, aren’t you?

TSUTAYA is also applying… TSUTAYA itself is something, huh…

For the second round, there is automatic application, but if someone couldn’t apply for the first round, they won’t be able to for the second either.

The email came right at 10:30, so that means I was the first one cut off.

I’ve used Nintendo Online for over 7,000 hours, and it’s terrible.

Wasn’t everyone able to buy a PS3 that much?

I’m betting on Yamada, as the application period is short and the conditions are decent.

This is just numbers and talks walking on their own, and the competition is becoming extremely heated… it’s quite depressing for me.

>>138

That’s tough, isn’t it?

Turning it into retail means turning it into resale by scalpers.

In today’s era, it seems that increasing user favorability has more advantages than aligning with retail.

In the first place, if you don’t run the hardware, you can still become a threat by running the peripherals and software, right?

>>140

Response from someone who has never worked.

>>140

It felt like one of those “serves you right” type stories that you see in the beginning of a narou (web novel), and I just didn’t like it.

The PS3 was released in 2006, so the elementary school students from back then are already in their late twenties now…

I was able to reserve and buy the Vita normally, but was I the one who was strange?

>>142

If anything, I suddenly wanted it on the release day and went to buy it, and I was able to get it.

I guess a lot of poor uncles get robbed by their relatives’ kids during Obon and other times…

How many units can be produced in a day?

>>145

I was doing inspections of electronic devices, but checking everything means that around 1000 units is a good number, right? I don’t know how many lines are working on this.

>>145

It depends on which factory, but the production system for Switch 1 is…

China: 30%

Vietnam: 30%

Cambodia: 20%

Malaysia: 20%

It feels like they are distributed that way, and mainly Chinese-made ones are being imported for the Japanese market.

Dividing this by the annual sales volume will yield a figure closer to the actual situation.

It’s tough not having the console when there’s a new game I want to play… I want it soon.

For the time being, I guess I’ll have to make do with another version or the Switch version.

The region-free version has a lower magnification.

Well, it’s 20,000 yen more expensive, so I guess that’s only natural.

>>148

There might be few applicants, but there probably aren’t many prepared either, so I hesitated, wondering if they had prepared a decent amount after all.

I guess next time I’ll make it multilingual.

Originally, I sometimes switched to English to play on Steam and such.

So we can cancel once on the 28th and then reapply in multiple languages, right?

>>149

There are many people who think the same thing, so the competition for multiple languages seems intense.

>>165

That said, I still need another 20,000.

It seems that ordinary people with families likely wouldn’t choose this.

I kind of understood that the multilingual version doesn’t seem to attract resellers, including foreigners.

In the second round, will the people who got selected this time be excluded?

>>150

Automatic applications were originally just a single application, so I think that’s not the case.

Reselling measures are amazing! I miss the time when it was being done.

The total playtime of 50 hours was way too easy.

>>151

Honestly, I thought it was silly to be praised for that loose hurdle.

>>161

Although it became a measure against reselling, I was only looking outside the fence, so I couldn’t see how much of a red ocean it was on the inside.

…Well, I might be an idiot.

I wonder if they can keep up with the supply of components like graphics cards with this much production.

A person who anticipated a flood of reservations and focused on the multilingual version must be quite perceptive.

I didn’t have that idea.

When shelves are no longer created in retail, their presence vanishes…

Rune Factory 2 Edition can run on the old Switch, so I’ll buy just the software first.

I want to buy Zelda again, but it seems like there’s no compatibility for that.

>>160

I didn’t think there was compatibility on that side.

I wonder if both sets of data are packed in.

>>160

While other companies keep releasing keycard versions, the third party is launching a title.

I really appreciate that they are seriously releasing a Switch2 edition with everything packed into the ROM.

It’s nostalgic that I could casually buy the Switch on the first day.

Big electronics stores often have space created with money from manufacturers.

I thought it was a good deal for the bundled version of Mario Kart, focusing instead on multiple languages.

I misread it.

I won the multilingual version! Since there are so many people who think that’s better, it seems like more and more humans are applying for the bundled Mario Kart this time, hoping to win.

I don’t think people without this right can buy it for about three years, right?

>>169

It might take more than that for ordinary people to be able to buy it at a regular price.

It wouldn’t be good for Nintendo to sell only to the gamer demographic, so it’s understandable that the conditions are relaxed.

I think it was good that resale and multiple accounts could be eliminated to some extent.

Sufficient number (without evidence)

>>171

At least you could say it after the actual numbers come out.

>>180

The sales numbers for the first week will definitely be the highest ever for the Switch 2.

>>171

It simply meant that it was generally more than the initial shipments of the old Switch.

If it’s a monopoly, it’s hell getting it to the users.

There will be about 2.2 million endpoints.

Who is going to transport this much?

Even Yamato would refuse.

>>172

If we let 2.2 million people go get it.

Where are you putting it?

I want you to work hard to spread the word about the low multiplier in the multilingual version on X.

That’s when the real battle of wits begins.

Is it the kind of thing where you’d get attacked after buying a Switch 2 at the store, like with Pokémon card robbers?

>>174

I hope it turns out like that.

A lottery draw is occurring…!

I think this sufficient number will continue to decrease significantly.

>>176

It’s foolish to think that it can be prepared only through official sales in the first place.

The holiday season always sees a crazy amount of shipments, so you should be able to buy it during the year-end and New Year period.

There are five million titles that use online, including Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Animal Crossing, Splatoon 2, and Splatoon 3.

Just by playing for 10 hours each, we’ve already exceeded 50 hours.

Most users can easily clear it.

Only those who swarm as reselling merchandise will be rejected.

When they said they prepared a sufficient number of units, considering that there was a shortage for about a year during the Switch period, you would think they actually prepared a sufficient number, right?

If you’re preparing around 400,000 just for direct sales, that should be a sufficient number.

Lottery ticket activated!

In reality, multilingual versions are just expensive unless there are special circumstances…

If a decent number was prepared for the second round, it could have made for an interesting reading showdown, I suppose.

If it’s going to hit in multiple languages, I would normally just send out 2-man, but it’s kind of creepy that more people seem to have the same idea.

>>192

For people who can’t speak Japanese, they probably think all of you should die, so it’s just a small difference, a mere error.

I have no choice but to rely on Yodobashi, but I haven’t received any information at all.

Rather than buying an ordinary one from a reseller for 100,000 yen, I thought it would be better to just buy the version in another language, but it might not even be possible for 100,000 yen.

Maybe I underestimated it because the online users decreased after the Splatoon and major title updates ended.

I can’t predict how many users who have been away will come back.

It’s something that needs to be multilingual in the first place.

Someone who thought that multilingualism is expensive, so the odds are low.

I didn’t choose it because I thought it might attract concentrated buyers due to the multiple languages and have little stock.

Everyone has their own tastes.

I think it will seriously become a social phenomenon related to fraud and robbery.

If you only have to pay 20,000, there must be a lot of people who normally just pay it given this difference in odds.

Most of the uncles here are probably like that.

Whenever Taimi delivers, for some reason, it gets lost.

How often such incidents occur.
