You can create as many threads about Switch2 as you want.
I really got a fake win email for Switch 2.
Everyone, be careful…
>>2
Show me.
>>4
I did not receive it because there was a subject about winning a Switch 2 in the provider’s spam filter email list.
It was prevented before that.
>>2
“Create a thread about dogs.”
To forgive.
That’s quite a condescending attitude.
I want to know the results of the selection process quickly.
You have about a million units ready, right?
>>7
Even if you have one million prepared, it doesn’t mean that everything will go to direct sales.
>>7
Isn’t it around 600,000 units?
Well, that’s still double that of the Switch.
>>14
If it’s 1/4, then it’s okay…
I think it’s understandable since I knew it would become scarce.
But I won’t forgive you for telling a blatant lie that you have prepared enough.
If there were enough, wouldn’t this have just been a great story this time if it hadn’t been said…?
Even if a sufficient number of units are prepared, there is a limit to shipping and transportation capacity.
They should be at least switching from the production line of the Switch to fully producing the Switch 2.
It’s Nintendo, the prestigious company of the world, so it shouldn’t be that damp.
Even though they said 50,000 was expensive…
Face reality.
Since the president directly issued a statement, I feel like the situation might have escalated to about three times what I initially thought.
There are plenty (just kidding).
>>19
Well, it’s not like it’s only available through the official Nintendo online store, and I’m not saying that it will be distributed to everyone who wants it just on the release day.
Don’t say stupid things like you lied.
Maybe the production won’t catch up, leading to an extreme shortage and continued reselling, resulting in an explosion of dissatisfaction.
At this rate, it seems that the Japanese people would be willing to buy even at 100,000.
It’s a business opportunity, Nintendo.
I wish we had prepared 2.2 million units…
I think I should have raised the price.
I plan to line up and buy it in the morning.
>>25
That’s the most certain way, right? Do your best!
>>25
This isn’t just selling things!!
>>25
It should be impossible since everywhere is likely fully booked, right?
Do you have around 500,000 ready?
It’s still just a quarter.
Is there a possibility that I might end up in a Dreamcast course that won’t be completed on time and will turn into a mess?
I expected the applications to exceed, so I’d like to know just the number you were prepared for.
It seems that all the stores will also be lottery-based, so there’s no point in going first thing in the morning.
I haven’t learned anything from the PS5…
What time does the email come again?
If we had prepared application slots that could be purchased at around 5% off in three months, we might have been able to diversify.
After all, it’s a Japanese company.
It’s because you say unnecessary things like “a sufficient number”…
I wonder how many we would have needed to have enough.
>>38
5 million!!!!!!!
>>39
There are 4 million online subscribers!
>>43
Is 1 million units a sufficient number…?
>>38
Well, that’s 2.2 million.
There was an anonymous person in the previous thread saying that if there were rules allowing people who have cleared their backlog of games to buy games, it would have been nice for those who can’t buy to have games to play while they wait.
Which mouth said there were enough?
Will you receive an email even if you are not selected?
I’m surprised that there were 2.2 million applications under such relatively strict conditions!??
It’s just a lottery after all, and not everyone who applied will buy, so estimating the numbers is tough, yeah.
No, it’s not difficult at all, which is why we raised 2.2 million.
They should have set the conditions so strict that only the most dedicated Nintendo users could buy it.
If I had prepared what they were going to buy, it would have been a concrete implementation.
>>49
If this is the case with the Switch, then wouldn’t the Switch 2 have produced around 3 million units worldwide?
Since priority is given to domestic matters, shouldn’t it be enough to allocate everything domestically?
>>148
Given the current advantages, it’s impossible to do it when we’re being criticized harshly by overseas competitors.
>>158
You should just ignore that…
The real intention is that they don’t want to increase domestic distribution that would result in a huge deficit even if sold.
>>167
Even if that were the case, it’s not a charity, so isn’t it a completely normal judgment in business…?
>>167
That’s awesome!
You’re speaking as if it’s something bad, based entirely on your self-centered assumptions, but this is just a natural part of business.
>>49
I wonder if the sufficient number was based on this criteria…
>>150
If it’s 330,000 units, then 15%?
>>156
It’s a sufficient probability to bet on…
If I don’t buy it soon, it looks like the price will go up.
It’s not that I can’t buy it even if it goes up by 10,000 or 20,000, but it feels like I’ve lost mentally.
If 500,000 game consoles are shipped individually at once, logistics will definitely come to a halt.
What is prepared is a maximum of 300,000 units, and the winning probability is slightly over 10%.
>>51
It’s relatively high, isn’t it? 10%
It is far more realistic than a lottery.
The warehouse is empty.
What will the number of units for the second lottery be?
What is the number of units to be given to the store?
Just sending the acceptance/rejection emails is a struggle in itself.
It’s ridiculously cheap as a gaming console, so if I can apply, I definitely will.
You wouldn’t expect someone who was buying in-store to suddenly order from Nintendo Online, right?
Well, from a corporate perspective, it’s still better to have a shortage than to have excess… as long as there is a prospect for production.
The purchase conditions are just a measure to prevent resale.
There are quite a few people, even among resellers, who can normally clear 50 hours.
The store lottery I plan to enter said they will only send emails to the winners and will not send rejection emails.
If this doesn’t work, I’ll have no choice but to bet on Edion and Seven.
>>61
Edion, stop it. I’m planning to buy it.
>>61
Well, isn’t it a safe bet to continue participating officially because you have the right?
>>82
The second lottery also seems tough.
>>90
But the retail definitely has a higher competition rate, right?
Well, it seems that if you don’t win the lottery in a few years, you won’t be able to buy it because it’s in short supply.
Even with demand, production cannot keep up.
That said, I don’t feel like buying a PS5…
Is the factory operating at full capacity okay with the Trump tariffs?
>>65
It’s not being made in America, right?
>>76
?
You’re going to hit skrikn anyway…!
>>66
It won’t hit.
That person already has it…
>>75
You have that right…
>>80
In other words, since you are a developer, you would need a real device for the final test, right?
The purchase conditions are clear… As long as there are no irregularities…
The atmosphere shifted from a joking tone to one that feels like a lottery…
If it’s a logistics problem, just tell Nintendo to consolidate it and come pick it up directly; that should solve it.
>>70
It makes me even more panicked.
>>70
Kyoto has been overflowing with people for a long time and it’s about to burst with them.
>>91
A line of 300,000 people.
The Praising Pilgrims
Is the Switch 2 for Japan also being made in the Vietnam factory?
The purchasing conditions for the store are quite lenient…
If you’re registered on the store’s app, you can mostly buy it.
If I were told that they produced 2 million units, I would definitely think they’re crazy…
Is the semiconductor also made in Japan?
If the developer doesn’t have a switch2, it’s over.
It seems that there will be more software supporting both Switch and 1.2.
I guess I’ll just practice getting really excited if I happen to win…
It was mentioned in the previous thread, but with a cost of 40,000 yen and production investment of 4 billion yen for 100,000 units.
I don’t have the courage to accumulate 200 million units of 80 billion yen in inventory.
700 million yen won’t hit, but Switch 2 will.
It should be.
I wonder if I can receive it if I become the largest shareholder from now on.
The first faction D developing the game switch2 must have a development machine.
Do you think there are people who win the lottery and then cancel?
>>92
If the conditions were relaxed, there might be some, but if they are this strict, I think those kinds are being eliminated.
>>92
There are likely quite a few people who miss the payment deadline without realizing they’ve won.
How many units are typically allocated to a single store?
Is twenty considered good?
Considering the number of households in Japan, how widespread is it…
That becomes.
I wonder how the logistics will be on the release date.
10% is nice.
A realistic number that lucky guys hit.
That said, it’s beyond help that Japanese resellers would come out from the start.
>>103
For this lottery, if there is some sort of link to an account in the main unit, reselling seems to be considerably prevented.
I wonder if they haven’t done it.
The fact that there were 2 million applications is surprising.
Even if you lose the lottery, you’ll be automatically entered into the next drawing, so you won’t buy it for resale.
I don’t know how long the current application restrictions will last, but it will likely continue to be limited to one device per account for a while, and eventually, you should be able to buy one.
I ordered it, Yodobashi.
At this rate, wouldn’t it have been fine to set it at 70,000?
It seems that Ito-Yokado gets 320 units per store.

>>110
I feel insecure.
>>110
Looking at the numbers from other stores, it seems that even in Japan, these are quite large stores, so it’s pretty tough.
It seems like scalpers are likely to gather at the store, so I can’t predict the odds.
There aren’t any warehouses that can hold 2 million in stock distributed.
Wow, I looked it up and it turns out that around 12 million items are delivered across Japan in a day.
Sending out a million is quite serious, isn’t it…?
It’s really depressing to imagine that stores can’t function because of resellers.
It was impossible due to physical issues; having abundant stock was out of the question.
The nearby Edion seems to have a small warehouse, I wonder if it’s okay…
>>117
I’m not an expert, but isn’t that the kind of system where they hold a lottery for everyone and send it to the store of the winners?
With a reservation that meets the conditions at 2.2 million, I can’t even imagine what the actual reservations that will come out will be.
Add those who became members more than a year ago, not just the app members for the store’s lottery conditions.
Ah, what a nice magnification!
Those who can’t buy are unfortunate!
>>122
Boom! (sound of deletion)
Well, it’s an impossible number, but to be honest, I’m surprised at how many people applied under those conditions, which is several times what I imagined.
It feels like, what would have happened if it had been unconditional?
If you hop between the Chameleon Club on the release day, there should be at least one available…
>>124
Is there that much to go around…?
>>124
There probably aren’t many Chameleon Club locations left anymore.
No, surely the participation of 2.2 million people limited to online subscribers is a misunderstanding or a typo… I hope that’s the case.
>>125
If that’s the case, then there’s no need to go out of your way to apologize…
At a minimum, it will reach about 5 million for the reservation…
If the situation is such that things just sell when made, isn’t there no reason to raise prices?
>>128
As long as the hardware isn’t at a loss.
>>134
If it hasn’t been explicitly stated as an inverse spread, isn’t it just a delusion?
I think it’s quite amazing that 2.2 million people have met the condition of being online subscribers for over one year.
I think that since they are active users, of course they would buy it.
I already received the winning email.
I was able to make a purchase.
It seems like it will take about three years until I can buy it normally like the PS5.
I’m troubled.
At this rate, if I brag about it tomorrow, I’ll end up getting deleted.
I definitely want it quickly! There are 2.2 million Japanese people alone…
If you include people who think casually like me, thinking “Well, I can wait a while until things settle down,” what happens then…
>>136
That situation could seriously lead to a year or more from now without any joking around.
It’s just that we have prepared a sufficient number and the situation far exceeded our expectations.
This is welcome because it will create more excitement as a spectacle.
Negative feelings are nurtured nicely between the winners and the losers.
>>138
Don’t turn humanity’s negative emotions into energy.
>>146
He is telling me to inject del into himself and release negative energy.
You can take advantage of that goodwill and just throw in the del.
>>146
Stop behaving like a child of the interstellar nation, Koyasu.
They might have been considering it based on the first week’s sales of the Switch.
You weren’t able to change it from being a reseller back then, right?
Mr. Rao’s raffle thread was up, but it didn’t work out.
With that kind of cut-off, having 2.2 million applicants, the Switch’s penetration rate is crazy.
It’s only the strange ones who complain to the sellers who are at least doing what they can in the current situation.
I want to thank Splatoon and Mario Kart for creating the opportunity to connect online…
Without any conditions, it feels even less likely to hit that number.
The world ranking will rise due to the number of unsuccessful candidates.
If a new Animal Crossing or Zelda game comes out, it will be even more hellish.
It might have been better to stagger the release instead of launching it worldwide simultaneously.
Have reservations not started yet in countries around the world?
It sold 160,000 in the first week on Switch.
I think having 500,000 prepared is enough.
It wasn’t enough.
>>159
It was completely insufficient after its release on Switch, so there’s no way it would be enough, right!?
If you’re lucky, you can buy it quickly! If you think of it as made-to-order production, then the emotional burden isn’t that heavy.
It may rise in price.
I can’t believe that Nintendo, which went out of its way to lower the price so much for Japan, would raise it so easily.
>>163
In other words, it’s hard to connect the ongoing situation of not being able to buy anything with the talk of price increases.
They are people who are purely enjoying it to the extent that they meet the conditions.
Of course, you want it on the release day, right?
It would be nice if I could get it by ZA.
>>165
Those who said they would buy it when software they want comes out for the Switch.
Don’t you remember what happened?
>>171
It’s not that I don’t remember; I just don’t know and don’t care.
>>171
I’m about to arrive at the reseller’s house.
>>171
When something you really want comes out, it can be obtained normally.
>>193
Which software did you want?
At certain times, you might get a reply like “Of course, that’s how it is.”
I’m still taking my time with the first software for now, and that’s fine.
When one of the two that I desperately want becomes available for sale, I wonder if I can buy it…
I am already prepared for the mindset of having lost and the excitement of having won.
>>168
A real man stirs things up with the mindset of being elected, even if he loses!
I’m looking forward to admiring the faceless one that I couldn’t buy!
>>173
It was when he realized he was himself…
>>176
It was too late now.
>>179
Please give me a Switch2.
>>173
Did you prepare the mirror?
Deltarune 3 and 4 also have a Switch version, so it is possible to buy some time.
It’s easy to say to shuffle the overseas portion casually, but contractually, it’s not that simple…
It’s just a matter of not having boasted too much.
In the end, aren’t we losing to resellers?
>>180
I’m not specifically hitting it…
>>180
I don’t understand how it can be recognized as a “big victory for resellers” just because they set conditions that made it impossible for them to buy, leading to an unexpected rush of legitimate customers.
>>180
The story about how the number of active users was unexpectedly high connects to the tale of losing to resellers… How does that work?
What time is the result announcement?
It seems that those who applied from the first round will likely have priority for the subsequent rounds, and I kind of understand that those who were waiting to see will end up in a situation where they have to wait quite a bit.
>>184
Since I haven’t touched on priorities at all, I don’t think the conversation will go in that direction.
https://www.itmedia.co.jp/news/articles/2504/03/news101.html
Switch2 Direct was watched by 3,289,590 people, so the cutoff is functioning.
The only retailers I can participate in are Geo, Yamada, Aeon, and Don Quijote…
There seems to be an idiot who thinks everyone except themselves is a reselling scumbag…
Switch 1 is probably around 300,000 units, right?
Even if prepared in double, it’s 600,000 units.
And if we don’t also distribute it to retail, we can’t physically release it…
Nintendo has around 100,000, right?
I’m predicting this quite leniently, though.
If you can’t buy multiple items with multiple accounts, you’re already losing at reselling.
Isn’t it that Nintendo properly predicted and prepared for the numbers because they can see online data?
