After the launch of the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, it was difficult for interested parties to secure one of the consoles for a long time.
This was not only due to the delivery difficulties in the wake of the corona pandemic, the so-called scalpers also played their part. They bought equipment and then sold it again at a higher price.
Nintendo wants to avoid that
The Nintendo Switch was also partially affected and the question arises whether this could lead to similar problems with the Switch successor?
Nintendo would like to avoid such a situation at all costs, as emphasized by Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa during the company’s recent shareholder meeting.
More on the subject:
The plan when releasing “new hardware” is to simply “produce and ship sufficient quantities to meet demand” (via VGC). Simple enough.
In other words, Nintendo wants to make sure they have enough copies available before launching a new product.
In addition, one is still thinking about “other possible measures” that could help.
