it's called scalping

Switch 2 fastest selling console of all time... because scalping. High initial demand and not enough supply breeds scalping behavior. This isn't a sign of long-term success. If we were to look at the PS5, it could be the sign of long-term stagnation as early adopters adjust to the reality of a first-run console. 

Give the hype time to die and what we will see is complaints. Complaints about repairability, complaints about lack of quality software, complaints about online services, complaints about price, complaints about battery life, complaints abouts screen quality. 

The Nintendo loyalists aren't like PlayStation loyalists. They don't have illusions about the fact that Nintendo, if not checked, will be awful and greedy. The grumbles cant be heard over the cheers, yet.
