GameStop's online Switch 2 preorders sold out almost immediately after launch, causing website and app errors. Many customers received order numbers without confirmation emails, while others encountered 'Activity Paused' app errors. GameStop assures customers that confirmation emails are forthcoming and is working to address bot orders. In-store preorders are still available, but long lines and varying stock levels are reported. Nintendo also faced overwhelming demand in Japan, with delayed delivery possible even for confirmed orders.
