Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa notes that the company "runs the risk of producing so many consoles to meet demand." In 2017, during the launch of the Switch, the devices were quickly sold out, and the company faced a shortage of them in warehouses.
Furukawa noted that Nintendo would not disclose plans for the production of Switch 2 until the publication of the business plan for the next fiscal year, which begins in April. The Nintendo Direct presentation dedicated to the new console will take place on April 2.
"As with the Nintendo Switch, we believe it will not be easy to rapidly increase production capacity, but based on our past experience, we will make preparations to respond as quickly as possible," says Furukawa.
It is also known that Nintendo does not plan to change the price of Switch "at the moment" but is not ready to announce it yet.
