The highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 was released on June 5, and the Japanese second-hand trading app has seen a surge in resale transactions. Prior to its official release, many resellers priced their items extremely high, often approaching twice the original price, with some listing their items for around ¥100,000 (approximately $973 USD). However, as of now, the majority of the thousands of items listed on the Mercari platform are priced between ¥70,000 to ¥80,000, indicating a price drop. Despite this, the prices are still significantly higher than the manufacturer's suggested retail price, with many calling for a response to this issue.
