Switch sold 2.74m at launch in March, now we have official Nintendo numbers for first quarter (April-June) that saying that Switch sold 2m in 3 months and that puts Switch on 4.7m at end of June with huge supply problems. Nintendo said they will increase shipments from July and August, and further increase from fall. So in next quarter (July-September) Nintendo will ship at least around 2m consoles again, so that would put Switch around 7m right before holiday season, and in holiday season Switch will easily pass 3m consoles.

From what I get, most people over here are convinced that Nintendo are producing and shipping as many Switch units as they possible can, and that the only reason for Switch hardware sales not being even higher is that there is currently just no possible way for them to product and ship more units.

But if that's correct - why would Nintendo magically be able to suddenly produce and ship more units during holiday season?

If anything, I would rather expect manufacturing capacities to go down rather than up at year end, since every company wants to produce more units for the holiday season, so there is even much more demand for the rather fixed manufacturing capacities that companies like Foxconn can offer.

Because they said they will be able to produce more consoles form fall. Remember, we have infos before that Nintendo is battling with Apple for some parts, and that is reason why Nintendo cant produce much more consoles.
