ニンテンドースイッチ2発売はつばい 転売てんばい対策たいさくにも注力ちゅうりょく

Major game company Nintendo released its new game console, the Nintendo Switch 2, on the 5th.

On the official online store, strict conditions have been set for lottery sales applications, and measures against reselling are being strengthened, such as cooperating with the operating company to prevent unauthorized listings on flea market sites.

Advance lottery, strict application conditions set as countermeasures—Nintendo released its new game console, the Nintendo Switch 2, on the 5th, with the domestic-only version priced at 49,980 yen.

The release of the new game console is the first in eight years.

On the official online store, a lottery sale was held in advance, and strict conditions were set for entry: having played Nintendo Switch games for over 50 hours and being a paid member for more than one year.

In addition, we have agreed to cooperate with three operating companies to prevent unauthorized listings on flea market sites, and we are putting effort into anti-resale measures.

On the other hand, major electronics retailers are conducting lottery sales with certain application requirements, such as past purchase history or membership registration.

At a major electronics retail store in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, when sales began at 10 a.m., the people who had won the lottery formed a long line and received the items one by one.

A man in his 40s living in Tokyo said, I didnt win the lottery on the official website, but I won here, so I took the day off from work to come and pick it up.

I said, Today, I want to have fun with my family until night.

Also, a woman in her twenties from Saitama Prefecture said, If its first-come, first-served, theres a possibility of hoarding, so Im in favor of a lottery.

It doesnt always work out, but I think its a good system that allows people who really want to buy something to do so, they said.

Nintendo aims to sell approximately 15 million units both domestically and internationally by the end of March next year.
