The Nintendo Switch has been highly popular during the pandemic. The problem is the company cannot make them fast enough to cater to the increasing demand of the console.
The Nintendo Switch is almost sold out everywhere and it is getting pretty hard to get one because of soaring prices.
Ever since people were required to follow strict quarantine rules, the portable console has been the leisure activity for those who are bored and looking for something to new to keep them busy.
Is the Switch sold out?
The original Nintendo Switch console which features detachable controllers is still sold out in most retail shops. Getting the Nintendo Switch Lite is also becoming even harder.
While there are some third-party stores offering these consoles, they will surely sell it at soaring prices. Nintendo already knows that the supply is cutting short and is doing the necessary measures to cope up with the situation.
Nintendo is boosting its production to 22 million units, an amazing achievement considering the console is already in its third year on the market. However, according to an analyst, the company’s effort may not satiate the demand soon enough.
According to an analyst, the Nintendo Switch might be sold out until June.
