Like the Wii and the NES Mini before it, the Nintendo Switch has been hard to find since its launch in early March. To help meet this demand, Nintendo has been shipping consoles to the U.S and Europe using planes. This is much more costly than traditional shipping, the Wall Street Journal estimating it costs Nintendo an additional $45 per system. Have you been able to find a Switch? Tell us below.
Nintendo Shipped Switch Consoles By Plane To Help Meet High Demand
||Yes, annihilate any Xbot on sight while expanding our reach…||
The faster we deploy the system to the most locations, the fewer places for our enemies to hide.

That is astounding footage you captured there ;). When the Commander says weaponry, he’s not kidding.
got mine 2 weeks ago, by the way i have officially had damn joycon syncing issues :(
send it to nintendo
The WSJ is full of shit! It definitely does not cost $45 per system! A quick search on UPS resulted in $8 per pound for air freight from the USA to Japan. Even if the package is 4 pounds that only makes $32. And I’m sure Nintendo can find an even better deal than I did in 2 minutes!
Are you saying that they weren’t before?
Already got mine at launch day.
Yeah same XD. Preordering from stores is a strong strategy.
Still the system may still have those faults, until those are rectified the system is a waste of money despite what people of team switch say. People i know have returned their consoles in for a refund after problems arose.
