Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa commented that there are concerns about the possible scarcity of Switch 2 at the launch, as happened with the original model, especially during the pandemic.
One of the highlights was the new console production plan, which promises to be more ambitious compared to its predecessor.
Production focused on global demand
At the Question and Answer Session, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa commented on concerns about the possible scarcity of Switch 2 at the launch, a situation that occurred with the original model, especially during the pandemic. Thus Furukawa said the company is taking risks to ensure robust production , seeking to meet as much demand as possible from the beginning.
The use of the expression “taking risks” is uncommon in Nintendo statements, which highlights the seriousness with which the company is dealing with the production of the new console. This indicates that Nintendo is willing to invest heavily in initial manufacturing to avoid inventory problems.
Evaluating public interest in Nintendo Switch 2
Therefore, Nintendo also revealed that production adjustment will be based on the impact of the next Nintendo Direct , scheduled for April 2, 2025, in addition to feedback from the demonstration sessions around the world. These events will be crucial to assess the public's real interest and adjust production as needed.
Despite the experience gained from the first switch, Furukawa pointed out that rapidly expanding production capacity is still a challenge. However, the company is preparing to respond agile if the demand exceeds expectations.
