Title: Nintendo Pulls Products From Amazon US Site

Link: https://games.slashdot.org/story/25/06/30/142...

Nintendo pulled its products from Amazon's US site after a disagreement over
unauthorized sales, meaning the e-commerce company missed out on the recent
debut of Nintendo's Switch 2 -- the biggest game console launch of all time.
From a report: The Japanese company stopped selling on Amazon after noticing
that third-party merchants were offering games for sale in the US at prices
that undercut Nintendo's advertised rates, according to a person familiar
with the situation. Enterprising sellers were buying Nintendo products in
bulk in Southeast Asia and exporting them to the US, said the person, who
requested anonymity to discuss confidential information. Nintendo product
listings started disappearing from Amazon's US site last year, gaming news
outlets reported at the time. The listings had previously appeared as "Sold
by Amazon," which typically denotes merchandise the online retailer buys
directly from brands. Some Nintendo products remained on the site, but they
were listed by independent merchants who sell their goods on Amazon's
sprawling online marketplace.
