They usually are pretty good about stopping production so that there aren't many of the old model in stock to "compete" with the new model. I wonder if they're still planning on selling the Switch? Or will they recall the units? Or will they actually reduce the price until it sells out? I doubt it. The last console that I can remember that went on clearance was the Sega Dreamcast. Even the WiiU didn't go on clearance. At least not officially. For awhile there were refurbished units that Nintendo themselves sold. That's when I finally picked one up. But I always wondered if they were brand new units that they just didn't sell and so packaged them as refurbs.

Do you think it is possible that preorders go live the day of the direct?

Don't forget to be logged in to whatever sites you plan on checking for pre-orders, in case they go up during or after the Direct.
