The versions of the console are rare and buyers of systems of day 1 are undoubtedly delighted to get their hands on the latest most recent game material. Unfortunately, some Switch 2 buyers have received damaged systems because Gamesop employees have worsened the receipts from their Switch 2 boxes, perforating the screen of their pocket computer.
Fortunately, this incident was limited to a single GameStop location in New York. Below, we can see a user with an affected Switch 2 console. Fortunately, the system is always usable, but the damage is easy to notice.

Gamestop confirmed that they did it “sent a unique case of damaging staples 2 screens. “In addition, they said that the problem was exclusive to a single store.
We have approached a unique case of damaging staples 2 screens – isolated in a single store.
Replacements have been proposed. Staples have been confiscated. https://t.co/w6eoedtcek pic.twitter.com/8uues7mx8i

Until now, Nintendo’s Switch 2 launch has passed without many problems. Players play their systems, and apart from problems like Gamesop’s basic incident, the first buyers seem to have a good experience. Can Switch 2 live up to the success of its predecessor? It is not clear.
