    So Nintendo are trying the old limit supply to push up preorders trick they did with the WII? I can't imagine it'll be hard to buy one if they do have 2 million units available in the first month. (Wonder how many are available for preorder - bet its a lot less than that!)

    Yeah I pre ordered the switch last week - not long after it was available and the expected ship date has now changed to the 9th of March which is a pain as it's for the good ladies Birthday on the 4th... so perhaps this date is based on expected stock batches.
