"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."

@TresFluke
I think I'm going to die mad that my Switch has that controller drift issue that Nintendo doesn't seem to care about correcting. Every Switch until the end of time (and maybe any Nintendo system) will ignite this rage in me.

So, it's safe to say I can see why sales aren't very high.

@Cassandra_Complex I haven't experienced the drift issue, myself. But I HAVE considered buying an arcade controller because thumb sticks just aren't doing it for me.

Twice now for me. I'm tired of replacing them and unsure if knockoffs that are better made will work or not though.

@Cassandra_Complex I'm sorry to hear that. I've heard generally positive feedback for the HORI controllers.

I will have to look into it, thanks. Maybe I'll be less angry if my Switch just works again.
