The Switch 2 isn't out yet, but it's already taking Japan by storm, so Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa is warning fans who applied for its lottery sale that there isn't going to be enough stock to go around from its official store.
To pre-order the console from the My Nintendo Store in Japan, fans had to apply for a chance to be selected in a lottery, leaving it up to chance whether they would actually be successful in buying one. In a tweet posted on the Japanese Nintendo Twitter account yesterday (machine-translated by Google and DeepL), Furukawa confirms that a whopping 2.2 million applications were received in Japan – a number that far exceeds both the company's expectations and the amount of stock it can deliver on release day.
