GameStop (GME) faced significant technical challenges last week as preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 went live, with overwhelming demand causing website outages and frustrating customers. According to a report from MarketWatch,

Nintendo Switch 2 preorders sold out almost instantly on April 24th, but we're keeping an eye out for restocks ahead of launch day.

At 11:34AM ET, deals-hunter Wario64 posted that GameStop’s Switch 2 preorders were actually live. A few Verge staffers were then able to get a console in their cart, and one was actually able to make a purchase, but they didn’t get a confirmation email from GameStop until shortly after 1PM ET.
