Can the lottery system work in the US for pre-orders regarding consoles? I know that the Zelda themed Switch 2 for example was scalped before anyone had the opportunity to even place a pre-order. During the anticipation of the original Switch 2 (日本語・国内専用) in Japan on 2025, at the time: you can only register via a lottery system and the retailer will respond if you’re being selected (they basically pick a random ticket out of a raffle, metaphorically speaking). The lottery system is standard in Japan for basically anything on demand, to curb scalpers and FOMO meaning its complete R&G if you’re even going to receive the product in question. If not, you re-register in a second lottery at another merchant or try your odds. Do you think the same approach will work in the US or is it going to fail since they’re not used to that form of item acquisition?
