Japan Is Getting Goofy With "Switch 2" Marketplace Listings

Switch 2 or two switches?

Nintendo entered a partnership with Mercari Japan in an effort to combat Switch 2 scalpers, so all Switch 2 listings--including the parody ones--come with a warning that items may be sold at an inflated price, and urging consumers to think carefully about their purchase.

Despite early comparisons to the Wii U, the Switch 2 is selling incredibly well at launch, and has been hard to get a hold of in some regions. Less than a week after launch the Switch 2 officially became Nintendo's fastest-selling home console, and one of the biggest console launches in history--partially due to Nintendo attempting to ensure there would be enough stock to meet the initial wave of demand. That still hasn't stopped the system from selling out, though, preventing even higher sales figures.
