To prevent possible droughts, also they itself said they planning to produce more units than they intend to ship, also 5m for system thats popular and thats sell is nothing.

If they need to produce 25% more than they can sell just to prevent droughts then Nintendo really is bad at planning inventory and reading the market and determine demand.

They producing more than they can or will ship is quite different than produce excessive inventory just to met unrealistic production.

Its not point about what they need but whats good decision, we dont know reason why maybe they want to produce more units than they can ship, maybe they curently have very good deal for some parts, or point that prevent possible future droughts because possible future Switch components shortages on market are logical ones.

Also, Switch sales can explode without shortages problems in 2018. so it's of course better to have some consoles in stock than again face shortages. Again, 5m is nothing for console that's so much popular and that have great sales, those 5m can be sell in one quarter, you clearly overreacting about those possible 5m.

Pffft..... get real, 17 mil tops.

Switch will end up around 17m after first 13 months on market, so they can easily top 17m in second year on market.
