Forward-looking: Nintendo has confirmed that it is releasing a Nintendo Switch 2, which means the next thing fans have to worry about is the inevitable scalping problem. However, Nintendo says there’s a simple way to stop this irritating issue: make enough Switch 2 units to meet demand.
As per Nintendo’s shareholder Q&A document, a shareholder asked company executives what measures they were taking to stop people from buying up the Switch 2 console in bulk when it launches and reselling them at a higher price. Scalping, basically.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said that a plan to introduce some measures was explored last year. “As a countermeasure for resale, we believe that it is most important to produce a sufficient number to meet customer demand. This idea has not changed since last year”, explained Furukawa.
The Nintendo boss added that the company is also considering whether it can carry out other scalping countermeasures, and that it will take into account the circumstances of each region and make decisions within the limits permitted by law.
