In response to a latest submit on the Swap 2 subreddit (thanks, wccftech), early models of Nintendo’s upcoming new console are being offered on the Chinese language black marketplace for practically $40,000.
That is supposedly sourced through the identical leaker from the Xiahongshu boards who revealed the CAD mannequin for the Swap 2 in 2024, with an accompanying screenshot showcasing messages between the leaker and a black market vendor, albeit with a lot of the element blurred out.
You must surprise why anybody can be prepared to spend a lot on an early Swap 2 unit, however the principle is that the leaker is successfully buying the unit out to accent producers. Constructing merchandise primarily based on specs alone is one factor, however being able to truly check out equipment with an actual Swap 2 unit would possibly effectively be definitely worth the trouble and cash given the potential pay-off within the months and years forward.
In fact, it is attainable that this might all be a load of garbage, however you recognize what these leakers are like. Give it a number of weeks, and we’ll in all probability see blurry, cropped photos of the unit itself posted on Famiboards or one thing. And so the cycle continues.
