Better be quick

The Nintendo Switch is back in stock in the UK, but barely

I know, I know, trying to get Switch stock is almost as impossible as NES Mini stock currently, but this month's looking good for the next couple of weeks - for the UK at least.

I've been watching the Switch come back into stock and sell out within a couple of minutes since its launch earlier this month, and it's been very enlightening. Nintendo stated that their goal was to shift 8-million units. Considering they've managed to sell 1.5-million worldwide in just a couple of weeks, and out of holiday season, that's very impressive.

While Amazon, GAME, and Tesco are accepting pre-orders to guarantee your console at the end of March/beginning of April, Nintendo UK actually has the Switch back in stock, both in Grey and Neon. Argos also has a scattering of units, mainly in Grey, so be sure to check with your local stores if you haven't immediately gone to Nintendo.

Sadly we don't know how many units, and the way these things go I won't be surprised if all of the available consoles have been sold out by lunchtime. So, if you're keen for your own device, you'd better move quickly.
