For game fans, the release of a console can be a stressful time. There are fights with bots and levels of ddos internet traffic to secure a pre -sale order in random and ungodly time, and/or the need for a mental preparation for a camp outside the seller. This experience has become largely rotten because of scalpers who buy items with the intention of resale on a huge marker.
While experienced veterans are used to this dynamics, this experience does not have to be like that. Example: Nintendo has developed a strategy to counteract switch 2, which sounds very effective. With the exception of Nintendo, he currently introduces it only in Japan.
Nintendo announced the initiative on Tuesday on its website in the post Breaking the plan. The Japanese company will cooperate with companies such as Mercari to “prevent dishonest offers” Switch 2. In fact, these pages will prevent Switch 2 offers even after official starting the console. All this is done to prevent “confusion” for consumers.
Meanwhile, If you load eBay Here, in the United States, you can easily find a lot of offers on Switch 2 for hundreds of dollars more than the retail price. Bummer.
While those of us outside Japan are still at the grace of greedy sellers, Nintendo did not completely miss us cool. In addition to normal pre -order orders, the company also launched a program in which fans could book the console only if they meet certain requirements. Users had to have Nintendo Online membership for at least a year, logged in at least 50 hours of console gameplay and had to choose to provide Nintendo data game.
It was a good idea that rewarded real blue fans, but the means did not solve the problem in full. I mean, Nintendo had to I apologize Due to the number of people who could not protect it in this way. At least these people will be implemented in the next set of pre -order orders.
It doesn’t have to be this way. For example, in the music industry, some artists can spend tickets that can not be resold on Ticketmaster, or can choose funds that limit the price of the ticket to resale. Basically, Nintendo does it in Japan. I hope it is only a matter of time before Nintendo introduces an approach to the rest of the world.
