A recent theft involving thousands of Nintendo Switch 2 consoles has raised concerns over the supply of this highly sought-after device. The value of the stolen goods exceeds $1 million, potentially affecting availability for eager gamers.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has been flying off shelves, becoming Nintendo’s fastest-selling hardware ever with over 3.5 million units sold in just a few days. Demand remains strong, and incidents like this could complicate efforts to keep up with it.
According to 9News (via MyNintendoNews), the theft happened at Love’s Truck Stop in Bennett, Colorado. Deputies confirmed that 2,810 units were taken from the back of a delivery truck. The driver, en route from Nintendo of America in Redmond, Washington, to a GameStop in Grapevine, Texas, was unaware of the trailer’s contents.
Each console retails for $499, so the total loss surpasses $1 million. Authorities are investigating how the thieves took so many units and where the theft took place. Anyone with helpful information can call a tipline (720-874-8477).
