Nintendo explains why switch production has been relatively slow

Today, hardware production problems have been presented for many companies, here they include Sony and ps5, another case occurred with the Steam deck of of _Valve. However, many might think that this is complication for Nintendo**, but apparently the shortage of certain components is already wreaking havoc.

During a question session and with the investors of Nintendo, the president, Shuntaro Furukawa, went into details about the shortage of pieces known as semiconductors and how it is affecting the company's capacity to manufacture hardware, and this at the same time affects the desired sale predictions, since in some stores they get to run out without having an immediate distribution.

Here the comments of Furukawa:

The financial forecast for the fiscal year takes into account the manufacturing and sales environments, and the following three explanations are the key points. The first point is the forecast of hardware units for this exercise. As the scarcity of semiconductors and other pieces continues, we continue to have difficulty acquiring the necessary components. Taking this production situation into account, we decided to establish our forecast of units at 21 million, which represents a decrease of about 2 million units year after year.

We must take into account the balance between the supply and demand of components such as semiconductors, as well as the situation with logistics. The financial forecast for the fiscal year anticipates an increase in manufacturing costs and a substantial increase in the shipping cost due to an imbalance, affecting the transport of hardware produced in preparation for the Christmas season.
