A disagreement that penalizes Amazon. While the Nintendo Switch 2 has been available for a few weeks, it cannot be purchased on the Electronic Commerce Giant platform in the United States. According to Bloomberg, Amazon lost the launch of this new console, which broke a record in terms of sale a few days after its marketing.
This is due to a commercial dispute. According to the source of the news agency, Nintendo ceased its sales on the American platform after having noticed that third -party vendors offered games at lower prices. They bought them approximately in Southeast Asia and exported them to the United States.
Amazon denies
In more general terms, Nintendo product leaves began to disappear from the American Amazon site last year, Bloomberg recalls. Some Japanese company products were still available, but were marketed by independent vendors.
Before this withdrawal, the electronic commerce giant tried to reassure Nintendo proposing to place labels in the products to guarantee its authenticity. But that would not have been enough.
Amazon denied Bloomberg’s revelations, calling them “inaccurate.” “Amazon is pleased to offer Nintendo products directly to its customers, as part of its commitment to offer an exceptional purchase experience with the greatest possible option,” said a spokesman for the US company.
As Tech & Co pointed out, in fact it is possible to buy certain Nintendo products on the American Amazon site, but not the Switch 2. For its part, Nintendo refused to give more details to Bloomberg, explaining that he does not reveal “there are no details of the negotiations or contracts with the retailers.”
