So, this whole Nintendo and Amazon thing? It’s like one of those messy soap operas my grandma used to watch. Apparently, both companies are wagging their fingers at a Bloomberg report that says they had a spat over some sneaky sales. Supposedly, Nintendo got all huffy about these third-party sellers on Amazon undercutting their prices. It’s like a discount free-for-all from Southeast Asia or something. Who knew playing games could get this, well, dramatic?
Anyway, because of this supposed hullabaloo, Nintendo listings started disappearing from Amazon U.S. And Amazon, bless ’em, tried waving a little olive branch—or maybe just a label of authenticity—to woo them back. Picture a bunch of lawyers in a room, steaming coffee cups, lots of “we want you back” vibes. But no dice, according to the report. Nintendo pulled its products faster than you’d pull a pizza out of a hot oven.
Of course, here’s the kicker—both companies are denying this whole saga! Nintendo’s out here saying something like, “Nope, didn’t happen, nothing to see here, move along.” Amazon’s echoing with a solid, “Bloomberg got it all wrong, folks. Our shelves are wide open for Nintendo.”
Oh, but don’t you love a twist? Even if it’s a tiny one. Report says you won’t find the Nintendo Switch 2 on good ol’ Amazon.com—but hey, if you cross the border to Canada or wave across the pond to the UK, there it is, shining like a new penny.
Yet despite this backyard bickering (if it happened at all), Nintendo’s basking in glory with sales through the roof—3.5 million units in just four days! Honestly, it’s like everyone threw their money at it just to see what all the fuss was about.
Now, in my best advice-voice, if you’re feeling nosy, keep an eye on Tom’s Hardware news or something. There seems to be an endless supply of juicy tidbits in the gaming world. Seriously, it’s better than a reality TV binge.
