A $1.4 million heist of Nintendo Switch 2 consoles occurred in Colorado just days after worldwide release, with 2,810 units stolen from a semitruck.

According to the sheriff's office, 2,810 new Nintendo Switch 2 game consoles were taken from the truck. The game system, considered the "fastest-selling" console for Nintendo, launched on June 5. The Nintendo Switch 2 with the Mario Kart World bundle is listed as $499.99 on GameStop's website.

A semi-truck driver reported that during a pre-trip inspection, he discovered that his trailer had been broken into and several pallets of the newly released Nintendo Switch 2 game consoles were stolen. In total, 2,810 consoles were stolen. Each console is valued at $499.
