I went to the store the other day and found it amusing that they were advertising the switch 2. I thought pre orders are sold out, who the heck is going to be able to get one who is seeing this advertising?
i guess hype is still valuable to Nintendo, even if people can't buy the thing right this second? Nintendo are the masters of intentionally restricting supply to increase demand and hype. They honed their strategy with the Amiibos, NES Classic, and SNES Classic, and then i'd say they mastered it around the time of the COVID Switch 1 shortages.
By all accounts, Nintendo is not artificially restricting supply with this launch. - it seems like they are really trying to have as many as possible available for launch day. But they still know how to make the most of a shortage.
I wish them the best of luck at these prices though. I get that the enthusiasts will clamor for it. There's a couple million people that would buy a half eaten shoe for hundreds of dollars, if only Nintendo stamped their logo on it. Once the dust clears though (and this is a personal opinion and hunch), I bet Joe Public scoffs and it's the WiiU#2.
