Is it possible these units may occupy all the space which NSW once filled, and thereby leave virtually no NSW units in warehouse? I’m not sure how normal it is for every system to go from production straight to store shelves, not stockpiled or anything. And what about the manufacturing? Will Nintendo be interested in dividing NSW2 production with NSW? I know they’ve already built that Vietnamese factory which’ll output an estimated >1mil per year. |
I believe they'll reduce the number of Stock Keeping Units (SKU's) of the current Switch.
It was launched with 2 color variations, then 3 (or 4?) color variations of Lite and 2 color variations of the OLED. That's 7 SKU's without counting specials or bundles.
So I can see them reduce the number of color variations, that would make it easier to launch Switch2 in a logistics sense. Perhaps the OG or OLED would be dropped, but I cannot see the Lite being dropped anytime soon without replacement.
It will be interesting to see what model the Vietnam factory will make. Just 1 or 2 or all of them? Perhaps even a budget revision like the Wii Mini to replace the current ones? I do not know.
