Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Nintendo Plans to Boost Switch Output to Meet Resilient Demand Quote Nintendo Co. plans to increase production of its six-year-old Switch console in the coming fiscal year after shipping roughly 21 million Switch consoles in the year ending March, according to people familiar with the matter. The Kyoto-based company had lowered its sales forecast for the console to 19 million units in November because of component shortages, but is now convinced it can make more and demand remains strong, said the people, asking not to be named because the discussions aren't public. The move to increase output is an unexpected measure at a late stage in the console's lifecycle. Nintendo has told suppliers and assembly partners it intends to churn out more Switch units in the fiscal year starting April, but has not yet communicated a precise target, the people said. It may revise down its plans later in the year if demand underwhelms. Analyst expectations are for sales to diminish, however Nintendo's plan suggests it sees sustained demand for at least another year. The console, whose price starts at $199.99, has been hampered more by supply issues than any demand slump, Nintendo executives have said. Yeah, we ain't seein' Nintendo's next hardware until mid-2024 at the earliest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
