Nintendo is suing Genki, a Japanese accessory maker, for showing a replica of the Nintendo Switch 2 before its official announcement.
Won’t be surprised that they will blame Genki for missing the target sales. After all it’s Genki that decided to price the console and games
The money that Nintendo lost on Wii U, they made up for on Switch, but still, the loss is still there. All guns blazing with Switch 2 pricing, suing Genki is a 'we need to make money' exercise. Goes without saying that Switch 2 will sell out at launch, but once it settles down, the masses won't pay it.
Genki abused its position as a partner to drum up hype for their business so they deserve the lawsuit however it's not going to be blamed for missing any targets
Pretty clear cut here they were under a partnership agreement here they violated that

"The Barranquilla-based (Colombia) indie games developer KillaSoft today announced with great joy and thrill that their stylish third-person noir stealth action-adventure "The Shadow Syndicate", is coming to PC (via Steam and consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X, and the Nintendo Switch) in 2026." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
This is where I live to. I stopped buying from GameStop long ago. I hardly if ever go into a BestBuy, Walmart, etc. I do most of my shopping online, I have my preorder direct from Nintendo, just need to wait for the email.
No surprise. This happens at Gamestop with every console release. There is so much pressure from corporate so employees resort to extortion to make their metrics.
