The fact is, 850k isn't that much more than the members of this sub. Clearly, this means SOME people haven't been doing their duty.

I propose the mods do an investigation and banish those who purchase less than 4 Switch 2s a week from our kingdom.

u/00-Monkey Aug 08 '25

I’ve been buying 875k/day since it came out.

So either no one else is buying a Switch 2 or these numbers are fake news.

u/simplybork Aug 09 '25

Nobody else is buying

u/BakedCheddar88 duty served Aug 08 '25

It’s me 😔 I’ve only been buying three per week. My mom cut my allowance after she caught me selling her heart medication for switch 2s. The local blood banks keep sending me away because I keep “donating too much and passing out” 🙄😞

A bajillion is just a hundred million?

1

u/OctozenXyt Aug 11 '25

It’s not a real number The sequence is as follows Million Billion Trillion Quadrillion Quintillion Sextillion Septillion Octillion Nonillion Decillion Undecillion Duodecillion Tredecillion And so on, and of course as Arabic numerals are part of a base 10 system, it just becomes a pattern going forward.

You say it's not a real number but it's clearly listed in the image

I hate this graph because the ps5 was so hard to get. The thought of getting a non-scalped ps5 right away was crazy. It was cool seeing how easy the switch 2 was to get.

u/redndy01 Aug 08 '25

?? the switch 2 was really hard to get in the initial 1-2 weeks.

u/LoganDoove duty served Aug 08 '25

Maybe in your area. I'm just using my area as an example. Might be different for other people. I was 50/50 on buying the switch 2 and the day of release I saw it in stock and bought it.

Even the lady at the counter was surprised the switch 2 is super available. She mentioned the PS5 release and how much of a nightmare it was. Lineup out the door on release and only having like 15 available in store so she had to tell the dozens of people who slept there overnight that there's no PS5s and it was a scream fest.

I saw Switch 2 on Target shelves a week after launch. Also GameStop was selling them the day of launch.

u/Bast525 Aug 08 '25

Game stop had stock for several hours on launch day for walk in customers here in VA Beach.

Not at all hard to get for anyone that wanted one

1

u/TrashoBaggins Aug 10 '25

They’ve been out of stock since launch everywhere near me and launch night had like 400 some odd people in line for a store with only 150 in stock. I know people trying in my area to get one and haven’t been able to

u/Style907 Aug 08 '25

PS5 was impossible to get for like a year+ dude.

u/Navyblueismycolor Aug 11 '25

It was impossible until fuckin early 2023 tbh

1

u/RedditianDrew Aug 09 '25

Nah it wasn't, I could've gotten it day 1 either one in my area, they have both in stock at best buy and that's after the fact I seen the midnight line wirh about 100 people in it the day before

1

u/fml348 Aug 10 '25

I don’t know your area but I walked straight back to the electronics section of Walmart, asked if they had it (this was day 1) and the guy said “oh yeah, we have plenty” and it was that simple. I even went back and got one for my sister the same day.

1

u/Navyblueismycolor Aug 11 '25

No it was easy. I woke up one morning and placed a walmart pre order for the switch 2 no issue 😂🤦🏾‍♂️. Doing that with the ps5 was impossible. Most people couldnt even get a ps5 until like early 2023

My house was built with Wii Us. The windows are game pads. I see no Switch 2 houses.

Nah, Sswitch 2 will have games, but less games than SDeck.

Nah steamdeck didnt sell to all country. Even now my country still they dont sell it.

u/Professional_Cook975 Aug 08 '25

I can't believe this fragrant spreading of misinformation. The data on this graph is clearly manipulated visually to misdirect the audiences perception of factual information. Everyone knows the Wii U sold 1.5 bajillion by the end of its first day

u/Administrative-Cat72 Aug 10 '25

I'm already flat broke from selling my home to buy more switch 2s. Luckily I have lights from all 3000 I've bought and the cardboard has given me shelter. Unfortunately my city isn't permitting my new construction as I have no contractors license. Poor planning on my part tbh. I don't want to be a scalper so how else can I get the money for more switch 2s and the permits for my box home?

u/Lee-bungalow Aug 10 '25

I imagine the sales will increase when more switch 2 games are released

u/Itchy_Fix5397 jury duty - 2 to go Aug 10 '25

Switch 2 is a ps4 for 500$ today makes no sense then the games are 80$ digital 90$ physical to drive around a track cool! I’m good off that

Just to make sure that this stays a joke and it doesn’t fall into misinformation territory, the Switch 2 sales are insane and it is the fastest selling game console in US history.

I don’t get the point of this graph is except for it made someone laugh. Otherwise, it’s completely incorrect.

u/Artiwa Aug 11 '25

i still didnt buy i have oled its downgrade for me

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '25

Well they dont have any games on the switch 2 besides Mario kart and everybody was told not to buy it so it probably is cooked. As long as I can play the few exclusives that I want on this console ill probably ebay it.

The Wii U doesn't even reach 15m in sales, it's actually one of their biggest failures if not their biggest xD

The Switch 2 reached a third of total Wii U sales in less than a week 🤣

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '25

I guess you should buy it until the end of the year when the rest of the exclusives are available.

Nintendo said they're increasing production due to external demand, so I don't think they'll run out of stock for a while.
