Nintendo has announced a proactive strategy to combat scalpers of the upcoming Switch 2 by partnering with popular flea market sites in Japan. This collaboration will help them limit the listings of resellers and enforce penalties for rule violations. Key measures include prohibiting Switch 2 listings on Yahoo Auctions and enabling a collaborative system for removing fraudulent posts. Although these initiatives will help control initial scalping activities, they won't stop players from reselling their purchased consoles at higher prices after acquisition when they go to the secondary market.
