Nintendo says “more systems are on the way” as Switch sells out across the U.S.

And with high demand and short supply, some are taking to eBay and selling systems for far more than the normal asking price. That goes for both the original Switch and Switch Lite.
At least in the United States, things may improve soon. Nintendo said in a statement to GameSpot that “more systems are on the way.”
