"Nintendo has cut its planned Switch 2 output by 33% this quarter, dropping the planned six million units down to four million. This cut is planned to continue into April, it is claimed.

This decision is apparently "driven by slower demand from consumers" over the holiday period, Bloomberg's sources state, and not the wider economic factors affecting worldwide hardware production, like rising component prices."

Nintendo's Apparently Cutting US Switch 2 Output After Lower Than Expected Holiday Sales

Quarterly productions revised

Nintendo Life

I think it was 10 years ago? Sometime around the time of the Wii and PS and XBOX going at each other, and PCChads were all "Ugga bugga not enough power" but the Wii was pulling numbers, despite the predictions of Nintendo's demise. And now? The first Switch is only behind the PS2 in sales, & the Switch 2 is still selling decently.

XBOX is going to die by the side of the road, neglected and unloved by the way MS seemingly wants to go all in on AI.

SONY can't afford to take on Nintendo alone, not with the PS5.

The next couple of years should be interesting.
