Nintendo is reportedly seeking to produce extra Switch models to compensate for latest shortages.
According to a brand new Nikkei report, Nintendo is engaged on growing Switch manufacturing for the present yr.
Switch has confronted international shortages since as early as February, however latest lockdowns worldwide triggered an even bigger strain on stock.
Nintendo merely wasn’t capable of replenish inventory as rapidly as it could have needed, however that is altering. According to Nikkei, Nintendo’s suppliers have been knowledgeable of its want to ramp up manufacturing within the April-June interval by 10%. That mentioned, Nintendo wouldn’t say what number of consoles it plans to supply in that interval.
“We hope [suppliers] will be responsive to the production increase, but for procurement of some parts, the outlook remains uncertain, and we can’t forecast exactly how many Switches can be supplied,” a Nintendo consultant advised Nikkei.
Given the timing of this, it’s probably going to be a few weeks earlier than we begin to discover the results.
