- Nintendo and Amazon have denied a report that the Switch 2 share was withdrawn from the online dealer due to a third-party dealer conflict
- Bloomberg has claimed that Nintendo chose to pull his products from Amazon in the US since third-party sales undercut the Switch creator
- Nintendo has said that “there is no such fact” with regard to Bloomberg’s report
Nintendo has denied claims that it drew the Nintendo Switch 2 share from Amazon US during the console’s launch period due to a dispute over third-party sellers.
In a new report from Bloomberg, it was claimed that the two companies have been caught in a disagreement about unauthorized, third-party sales of Nintendo games underpinning the Switch creator.
Because of this, Nintendo allegedly withdrew its products from Amazon when people bought cheaper stocks in bulk from Southeast Asia and exported and reselled them in the US at a cheaper price.
As a result, no first-party Nintendo Switch game, which The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the WildAt The tears of the kingdomand Mario Kart Worldhas been unavailable for purchases even though Amazon US recently added a list to Donkey King Bananza (via IGN).
It is said that Amazon tried to settle the case by offering Nintendo Autenticity Labels on its products, but according to Bloomberg, “Nintendo eventually chose to pull his products from Amazon in the US”, resulting in a shortage of Switch 2 storage in his pre-order and release period.
However, Nintendo has denied Bloomberg’s claims.
“There is no such fact,” a spokesman for Nintendo said in a statement to Tom’s Hardware. “We do not pass on details of negotiations or contracts with retailers.”
Amazon has also come to mind the report and said that the claims about its relationship with Nintendo were “inaccurate” and that it is “happy to offer Nintendo products directly to our customers as part of our commitment to providing a unique shopping experience with the widest choice.”
Despite this latest development, the Nintendo Switch 2 share is still not available on Amazon USA.
