With the upcoming Switch 2, Nintendo is hoping to avoid another shortage like the one that plagued the original Switch.
In no uncertain terms, Nintendo is planning to release a “successor” to its incredibly popular Switch console, which is something Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa went on record saying a little over a month ago. We’ll have to wait for more details on things like hardware specifications, features, and pricing. In the meantime, however, Furukawa saw fit to bring up Nintendo’s next game console, this time with comments about how the company plans on combating scalpers.Put simply, Furukawa told investors that as a countermeasure to scalping, the most important part of Nintendo’s plan is to “produce the number [of units] that can meet the customer’s needs firmly, and this idea has not changed from last year.”Some of Furukawa’s statement may have been lost to translation (we used Google Translate), but the gist of it is clear—supply enough consoles at the outset to meet demand.
