A Nintendo Switch 2 enthusiast recently experienced a heart-stopping moment when their eagerly awaited console delivery was caught on camera being recklessly thrown by a delivery driver. The incident, captured by a Ring doorbell camera, shows the precious gaming package being tossed toward the customer's front door just days after the console's highly anticipated launch.

Despite initial debates about its pricing, the Nintendo Switch 2 has shattered sales records, becoming the fastest-selling home console in history. The hybrid gaming system sold an astonishing 3.5 million units worldwide within its first four days after the June 5 release - a remarkable achievement when compared to Valve's Steam Deck, which has sold approximately 4-5 million units since its 2022 debut.

The unfortunate delivery incident was shared on the Switch 2 subreddit by user marcf747, who had ordered their console from Target during recovery from surgery. The video evidence clearly shows the delivery person throwing the package onto hard brick pavement, resulting in visible damage to the box. While the owner confirmed the console itself survived the impact unharmed, the online community strongly recommended reporting the driver's irresponsible behavior.

This isn't the first reported issue with Nintendo Switch 2 deliveries. Some GameStop customers previously complained about damaged consoles when store employees stapled pre-order receipts directly to the product boxes, potentially harming the screens.

The new Switch 2 has impressed gamers with its enhanced features including GameChat functionality, superior graphics, and expanded memory capacity. However, it hasn't been completely free from issues, with some users already reporting Joy-Con stick drift - a familiar problem from the original Switch. Nintendo has responded by offering free repairs or replacements for affected controllers, regardless of warranty status.

Players are currently enjoying a strong lineup of launch titles for the Switch 2, including the first-party hit Mario Party World and third-party favorites like Yakuza 0 Director's Cut and Street Fighter 6. The console's future looks equally bright with anticipated releases such as Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Kirby Air Riders, and the upcoming Donkey Kong Bananza scheduled for July 17.
