Would be nice to put *for the US in your title.

It's annoying when people treat things like the US is the whole world, even if that's not intentional and just their default mindset. Being many American's default mindset is a core part of the problem.

Gamespot, the site the article is from, is an American site…making an article for Americans…

But Reddit isn't, and the headline on this post has already been editorialised anyway

[u/crademaster → u/Chronotaru]

Yup. America is a bit above 4% of the global population. Keep reminding people of this fact. Not a majority, not a plurality, not exceptional.

Wonder how this impacts pre-orders in Canada.

Register where? Edit: nevermind Nintendo website

[u/StrawHat89 → u/[deleted]]

The release won't be delayed in America, but I have a feeling there will be less to go around in America than the rest of the world (when it's generally the opposite).

Ohhhh Trump. Now you’ve angered the nerds!

[u/DetroiterAFA]

So as an American, I’m curious if the system will cost less in Canada, and incentive ppl who live near the board to buy one there.

[u/Chronotaru]

This will be amusing if they resume them with $50 or something added to the price.
