It will be interesting to see what happens ...
Years ago I remember seeing it reported that Nintendo tended to choose components where there were multiple manufacturers or own the rights to manufacture the components themselves, and to have significant redundancy in their manufacturing process, to ensure that nothing out of their control had a significant long term impact on production. While I don't know if this is still the case, knowing how conservative Nintendo is as a company I wouldn't be surprised, and I suspect that any interruption in production will be (hopfully) short lived.
