Before the May Day holiday, we reported that the Switch 2 suddenly went out of stock after it briefly appeared in the channel with the "10-billion-yuan subsidy".
Now it seems that it wasn't actually removed from the shelves; it's just that the batch at that time was all sold out.
Today, the Switch 2 console has appeared again in the "10-billion-yuan subsidy" channel on Pinduoduo. You can see it at the top as soon as you open the "10-billion-yuan subsidy" section.
When you click on the detailed page of the product with the subsidy, you can see that the price of the Switch 2 this time is the same as the price before the holiday.
Among them, the bundled NS2 console with the Mario Kart game costs 3,999 yuan after getting the coupon.
The product page shows that the pre-sold console will all be delivered before June 8.
Let's talk about it first. The official price of the Hong Kong version of the Switch 2 is 3,450 Hong Kong dollars (equivalent to about 3,237 yuan), and the official price of the Hong Kong version of the Switch 2 bundled with Mario Kart is 3,750 Hong Kong dollars (equivalent to about 3,518 yuan).
In this regard, the current premium of the "10-billion-yuan subsidy" on Pinduoduo is about 13%, which is still reasonable.
Nintendo previously promised that the initial stock of the Switch 2 will be very sufficient and it will vigorously crack down on the scalping phenomenon. Therefore, I think there is no need to be in a hurry to buy the Switch 2.
First of all, there are not enough games for the Switch 2 currently. In addition to playing the old NS games, the only new games you can play if you buy it at the initial release are Mario Kart World, the high-definition version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and the high-definition version of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Secondly, one month before the release, theoretically, this is the time when the price is the highest. But currently, the premium is only 13%, which means that not many people have bought it yet. I believe that by the end of the year, the price of the Switch 2 will definitely return to a normal level. If there is no new Mario game, the price of the NS2 may even drop below the launch price.
Of course, buying early means enjoying early. If you have been waiting for the NS2 for a long time and don't care about the money, then just go for it.
