The president of Nintendo revealed that the Nintendo Switch could also suffer from a shortage of units in early 2022
Of the three console manufacturing companies as they are Sony, Microsoft Y Nintendo, only the last one has partially relieved the effects of the COVID-19 and stocked the market with Nintendo Switch units.
However, within this company they do not trust each other at all. That is what the comments of its president suggest, Shuntaro Furukawa. These come from an interview that was carried out this week.
Even the Nintendo Switch could have supply problems
Furukawa commented that the sales of Nintendo Switch have been very strong, especially of the OLED model, but they are aware of the current situation. This is why you will not be able to make as many units as you would like.
So the supply of the system could ‘stagnate’ after the start of 2022. In his own words, he said ‘It depends on demand, but as we feared, we will not be able to produce as many as we want’.
Shuntaro Furukawa He also commented that in the United States they have had logistical problems. That is why they turned to air transport services so that shipments of Nintendo switch will arrive in American stores on time Black friday.
They also turned to rail transport for the first time in the European Union to meet the demand of consumers who want to get their console.
Shuntaro Furukawa remains quite cautious and cautious
Since May of this year Nintendo He commented that he was having trouble meeting requests from the system’s shipping stores.
So far he has done a good job, but it is clear that the effects of the pandemic have affected him like the other console manufacturers. This despite the fact that the Switch is not using the most advanced chips to work; its components are more accessible and abundant.
But with comments from the CEO of Intel, Pat geelsinger, since it is likely that the demand for chips can only be satisfied until 2023, the outlook is not very good for anyone.
We will have to see how Nintendo manages to fulfill the orders of Nintendo switch next year. The model that will surely be the scarcest next year is undoubtedly the OLED. All due to the screen it has, which is more advanced.
