Getting your hands on the Nintendo Switch system is not as straightforward as you can hope for the US right now, with stock issues due to many key retailers in the wider distribution struggle.
Shops such as Amazon, Target, GameStop, and Best Buy have struggled to keep up with online and in-store demands. Searching for a console online currently brings you regular messages & # 39; stock out & # 39 ;; Target& # 39; s the words that actually the console was "disconnected".
Speaking to A Hollywood reporter, a Nintendo spokesperson gave comments about the shortage.
"Nintendo switchch hardware is sold in various stores across the U.S. but there are many programs on the way. We apologize for any inconvenience."
The comment stops giving a reason for stock shortages, but a Bloomberg report published in February noted that both Europe and the US could see stock issues as early as April due to a coronavirus outbreak. This effect may now be beginning to be felt.
Both Best Buy and GameStop closed their stores in the US over the weekend, and Nintendo's US repair centers are now closed.
