Hype around Switch 2. The first fan has already lined up outside the store

Sales of the Nintendo Switch 2 kick off on June 5, but the first fan has already lined up. American streamer ChickenDog pitched a tent outside a Nintendo store in the US two months ahead of the release. He wants to secure the console on launch day and is not taking any chances.

Despite the Nintendo head’s statement about an adequate supply of consoles, recent data suggests otherwise. Interest in the Switch 2 has turned out to be so high that some buyers might miss out on the first wave of shipments.

ChickenDog decided not to wait for pre-orders to open, which officially launch this coming Wednesday. According to him, even if an order is placed online, there is no guarantee the console will arrive on time. That is why he chose a proven method — an in-person line.

Controversies surrounding the Switch 2 do not deter fans. Some stores have already opened unofficial pre-orders, and demand for the console confirms — the release will be massive.
