The launch of Switch 2 preorders on April 24 was marred by technical difficulties across major retailers, including Walmart, Target, and Best Buy. Many fans faced frustrating experiences, such as timing out pages, deceptive error messages, and abrupt cancellation of orders. Walmart's queue system offered no transparency, while Best Buy did not even activate its preorder page. Target appeared to allow successful checkouts, yet many experienced crashes and cancellations immediately after. This chaotic process highlighted the need for retailers to improve handling of high-demand product launches.
Walmart's preorder system threw customers into an invisible queue, warning them that 'This deal is almost gone,' without revealing their actual position, leading to confusion.
Best Buy's Geek Squad failed to launch Switch 2 preorders on time, providing no clarity on availability, while customers turned to Target, only to experience website breakdowns.
