The eagerly awaited Nintendo Switch 2 launch is creating excitement among both gamers and retailers. While Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) stands to benefit from the increased demand, even a hit product cycle may not be sufficient to counter the retailer’s rising financial and macroeconomic challenges.

It's been a full 11 days since the Nintendo Switch 2 went on sale, promptly selling out, with rare restocks appearing sporadically at various retailers. But Amazon has added a surprise restock – so you'll need to be quick if you want to bag the console.

At over 3.5 million units sold in just four days, the Nintendo Switch 2 is now the fastest-selling game console of all time, and shows no signs of stopping, with some retailers still having trouble keeping them in stock.
