Best Buy began selling the Switch 2 at its retail locations on June 5. It previously said it wouldn't sell the handheld at its online store during launch week, but it made additional consoles available on June 11 around 12PM ET. That restock lasted for the better part of an hour and required in-store pickup, but the device is now sold out again.

EE does have the Nintendo Switch 2 in stock right now, but it's only available as part of a larger bundle and only for monthly mobile customers. If eligible, you can add the Mario Kart World bundle, as well as an extra set of Joy-Con, a Switch 2 Camera, and a $50 EE Game Card to your contract for an extra £30 a month with £20 paid today.

The eagerly awaited Nintendo Switch 2 launch is creating excitement among both gamers and retailers. While Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) stands to benefit from the increased demand, even a hit product cycle may not be sufficient to counter the retailer’s rising financial and macroeconomic challenges.
