| VAMatt said: I've followed many public companies throughout my life, in lots of industries. I've never seen any organization that is even close to as bad as Nintendo at forecasting sales. They've always been very bad at it. So, when it comes to supply issues with Nintendo, my first inclination is to blame their general inability to know how many units they'll need. |
I mean they oversupplied the wii U by far, probably the reason they initially underproduced the switch.
and increasing the pipeline in early 2020 would only have made finantial sense if they were expecting more sales then 2019 for 2020, 2021 AND 2022. which wasn't clear last year around now, especially with nintendo's lack of first party titles this year.
TLDR, increasing production capacity only makes sense of you are planning on making more for more then a year or two...
