Nintendo: Wii U production unaffected by factory fire
Earlier today, analyst Daniel Gibson at Macquarie Capital Securities Limited tweeted that a fire broke out at a Wii U assembly factory in Japan. Gibson mentioned that Nintendo would revise its shipping forecast as a result.
Nintendo has now officially responded to the situation, and it looks like the fire won’t have a major effect on production. The company said, “As of now, we see no impacts on our Wii U console production scheme”.
CVG reports that supply constraints have been an issue for the Big N thus far. Due to strong demand, many retailers already sold out of allocated stock.
Fortunately, it seems as though this latest development won’t negatively impact the Wii U production line.
