That's because the retailer, as reported by Eurogamer, has confirmed that it has canceled an unspecified number of Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders.

"We're currently working hard to reinstate as many affected pre-orders as possible," the statement reads. "If your order was impacted, please know that we're doing everything we can and will be in touch with further updates and next steps." You can see the full post below.

Kathy Griffin STILL playing the victim over bloody Trump decapitation photo eight years on
Kathy Griffin is still whining about her 2017 cancelation after she posed for a photo that 'jokingly' suggested she'd just beheaded Donald Trump. Griffin, 64, has now complained that Stephen Colbert made her cry by ambushing her about the incident during a 2018 interview, despite her attempts to ban him from doing so. The comedian called Colbert a d*ck In a YouTube video published Tuesday, where she billed the interview as a 'bullsh*t ambush'. Griffin, who is famed for playing the victim over the Trump incident, also argued the CBS host's line of questioning was 'laced with misogyny,' and accused Colbert of punching down on a 'D-list celebrity'. The claims came seven years after the sitdown in question, and nearly eight after the controversy that caused Griffin to lose her plum hosting gig at CNN. The interview with Colbert months later saw her lightly pressed about the May 2017 photo-up. Griffin said she'd just been questioned by the Secret Service over the photo and had begged with Colbert to avoid the topic First, showrunners obliged, she said - before recalling how they shifted course at the 11th hour. The comic compared the ensuing experience to a grilling one might expect on '60 Minutes' instead of a satirical talk show. She claimed Colbert - a comic as well - 'kept going and kept going' with his questions. 'And then the tears came,' Griffin said. Insisting she held her tears back until the very end of the interview, Griffin titled her nearly half-hour video 'Stephen Colbert Made Me CRY!' She recalled thinking: 'Wow, [Colbert] has way more of a bias against me and my right to take that photo than I imagined.' 'So I felt my eyes fill up, and I thought, "Oh God no, anything but this."' '"You're a grown woman who's a female comedian trying to prove that you can keep up with the boys. You cannot cry."' 'I am glad to say not one tear escaped my tear ducts, so I did not cry,' she then touted. 'I did not have a tear that was visible to the audience. I don't think the audience could tell that my eyes filled up.' At the same time, Griffin said she suspected Colbert - who had asked if she felt the photo-op was protected by her First Amendment rights - was aware of the emotional damage he was supposedly causing. 'I do think Stephen could tell,' she asserted. 'It did not stop him. I did not feel he had any empathy, but I did feel he had an understanding of what was happening, and that's what made it worse.' The claims came seven years after the sitdown in question, and nearly eight after the controversy that caused Griffin to lose her plum gig at CNN . The interview with Colbert months later saw her lightly pressed about the May 2017 photo-up 'And I remember thinking, "You asked me to be on this show. I'm a guest. This is your show. This is your world,"' Griffin continued. She said the sitdown caused her to detest the Late Show host. 'I have such a low opinion of Stephen Colbert now,' the small-part actress said. 'He's not gonna hear about this, but if he does, he'll probably issue one of those statements saying I made the whole thing up, and that I'm irrelevant, and that he didn't know I was crying, bla bla bla. 'I'm so used to guys making statements like that about me, it's ridiculous.' She then accused the longtime satirist of using his platform to 'punch down' on her - a small-time comic. 'He's obviously very bright, but man, what a dick,' she complained. 'And to go for me of all people, just, to me, it had such a, it was so laced with misogyny, 'But that undercurrent of misogyny where he would probably be shocked to hear that anyone would accuse of him of having an ounce of misogyny,' Griffin continued. 'I just remember thinking, "He would not talk down to the guys like this. He just wouldn't."' Griffin claimed she did not release her tears until the interview's conclusion. 'I was still smiling and waving, and I could feel them coming down my cheeks,' she proclaimed, before claiming an executive producer went up to her to ask about her tears. At the same time, she said the producer tried to explain away Colbert's line of questioning. '"He just couldn't get over the picture. He just can't get over it,"' she recalled of what the staffer alleged said. 'And I go, "What's for him to get over? I don't understand. It wasn't a picture of his decapitated head."' The argument echoed the one she offered Colbert years earlier, after the latter spent some 10 minutes asking her about the photo and the backlash that came with it. At the time, Griffin doubled down that it was her right to take a photo of her holding what looked like the president's decapitated head under the First Amendment - a stance that failed to completely sway Colbert. 'There are limits, though, to what you can say about the President of the United States, having specifically to do with harm against the President of the United States,' Colbert, a Democrat, argued. 'Right, which I did not do,' Griffin shot back, showing no indication of the tears said were still to come. 'Well, you were holding up a severed head,' Colbert pushed back. 'No, no. It was a mask. A Halloween mask with ketchup,' Griffin said. 'Where would I get a severed head?'
