Nintendo is sending 'Out of Stock' signs to retailers ahead of the Switch 2 release

  • Nintendo is reportedly sending some US retailers "Out of Stock" signs ahead of the Switch 2 launch
  • A redditor shared a photo of the sign in-store, suggesting that Nintendo is preparing retailers for when the console goes out of stock
  • The signs would presumably stop people from having to ask if the stores have any extra stock

Nintendo Switch 2 stock might be limited at certain retailers as some stores are reportedly receiving "Out of Stock" signs ahead of the console's release.

As reported by VGC, redditor 'Alternative_Basket19' shared a post alongside a photo of a Nintendo Switch 2 sign that reads "Out of Stock", suggesting that Nintendo is already preparing US retailers for when the handheld goes out of stock.

Some users in the comments have speculated that the signs would stop buyers from having to go in-store to ask employees if the retailer has any extra stock. The Switch 2 is an in-demand console, so this is sure to be the case around the world.

"Average person walking into the store might not even know the Switch 2 is out… but they then see signs saying it is, and it’s already sold out," one user said.

Got these signs in from Nintendo, they got jokes
