I was able to understand to Switch and PS4 shortages before onsoles have many components but how hard can it be to produce cartridges and print the cover art for a game? |
It isn't easy to just make the cartridges and get them shipped. However a lot of this seems to be Square Enix being conservative in how many they make and ship to their Japanese retail partners.
It may have to do with the Switch ' s game cards being more intensive or costly to have to make compared to discs or them being burned on the nostalgia market after failed attempts with Lost Sphear and the Secret of Mana remake this year. In either case much like Nier Automata they stumbled on a sleeper.
