You may recall that, earlier in the year, Nintendo had significant issues with Switch production. The lack of stock ultimately made it very difficult for consumers to purchase the system for a significant period. Thankfully, the situation has been resolved.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said in a conference call today that the situation regarding Switch production “has now completely recovered and we have no issues with that.” Aside from making consoles in China and Vietnam, small volumes are also now being put together in Malaysia.
Furukawa also said: “The Switch hardware momentum remains strong, and we think that’s because production has recovered so customers who were previously unable to find a Switch on store shelves are now able to.”
