Switch tastic Sales!

Right then! News just in! Apparently this 'Nintendo Switch 2' thingy has been causing quite a kerfuffle! They've sold wait for it... THREE AND A HALF MILLION of these things in just four days! Blimey! That's more than the number of times I've had to unblock my sink this month! The shops are saying they've run out... 'out of stock' they call it. Reminds me of when Mrs. Wicket runs out of biscuits. Absolute chaos!

More Than 15 Millions? Oh Teddy...

These clever clogs at Nintendo reckon they'll sell fifteen million of these contraptions by next March. FIFTEEN MILLION! That’s a lot of zeros! One expert fellow a Mr. Serkan Toto said the market expected a record. Well fancy that! I expect a cup of tea every morning but that doesn't always happen does it Teddy? But what did Mr. Bowser say? Oh yes "Fans around the world are showing their enthusiasm for Nintendo Switch 2 as an upgraded way to play at home and on the go". Well how nice isn't it?

Queues Queues Everywhere!

Apparently people were lining up for hours to get their hands on one of these things. Hours! I once queued that long for a free ice cream only to find out they’d run out of chocolate! The horror! But seriously I don't know if I'm so enthusiastic like those fans; what if I spent hours in the queue and then I don't get one? Oh Mr. Bean you shouldn't be so negative. Well it's hard when you don't get an ice cream for hours of queuing...and they run out of chocolate...

Uh Oh! Shortages!

Now here’s the sticky bit. Because everyone wants one of these Nintendo ma bobs the shops are running out! Walmart GameStop the lot! Just like when I try to buy a parking ticket and the machine’s broken. Utterly infuriating! The chaps at Nintendo claim they’re working to make sure there's enough for everyone. Let's hope so. Otherwise there'll be trouble... *adjusts tie nervously*

Trumped by Tariffs!

And now for the really confusing part. Apparently some fella named Trump has put 'tariffs' on things. Which means... well I haven't a clue but it might mean these Switch 2 thingies could cost more! Goodness me! It's already the most expensive Nintendo thingy ever! Still maybe they'll lower the price later. Like when I try to haggle for a second hand sofa. Sometimes it works sometimes I end up sitting on the floor.

New and Improved!

So what's so special about this Switch 2 thing anyway? Bigger screen faster... bits and bobs. And something called 'GameChat2' so you can chat with your friends. I'd rather just have a cup of tea with Teddy. Much simpler! But I suppose if you're into all that 'modern' stuff it's probably quite good. Now where did I put my toothbrush? I fancy cleaning my teeth with some paint tonight!
