Anyone know the reason why Nintendo can't fixed the Switch supply issue?

They didnt plan ahead, for success.
What happend is it sold better than they thought, and theres a shortage of memory chips & LCD (apple took a large portion).
That was the rumor back in april. Its probably still plagueing nintendo.

Basically apple is fighting Nintendo, for LCDs & memory chips, and makeing iPhone's instead of nintendo makeing Switch's.

The "only" fix is to wait it out, Nintendo are being cheap, and arnt willing to pay more than Apple, to get parts.
So most of the sales go to apple, beacuse their supply chain power is bigger & they order in bigger quantities.

Get your shit together and start shipping 100k/week Nintendo! hahaha

Kinda hard to make Switch's if your missing parts needed to manufacture them with.
Apple is f***ing them, by buying large amounts of the same parts Nintendo needs.

Even if production should be up in 2018, its still probably a issue for them.

I heard something like that a while ago, I thought it would have gotten better by now..... well if they're planning to sell 20million Switches, they better do somethin



Pocky Lover Boy!

Moral of the story. Don't fuck with apple. Sony have it figured out. Instead of apple buying up ps4 parts, they are buying up Sony cameras for their phones.

Nintendo should be over the hump, yet still struggles to get systems out.
When are they going to be done with this issue?

Personally I have not seen a splatoon 2 bundle, Odyssey bundle, or the red and blue system in months. I get the occasional grey, basic system only and that is one or two at a time.

Time for a Zelda bundle or something.

So supply in your place is also strained or just those bundles and the neon one?

You mean in japan only right?

Because worldwide sales as of september 2017, was  over 6.5m units sold through to users.

Hajime Tabata himself said so back then.

 

PS:   In japan only FFXV was at 1m+ sales back in jan 2017 (without counting digital sales for the holidays, or the xbox sales).
         a year has past since then, hopefully its done more than say 200k in that year.

Well that's what I said lol

It first needs to beat Ocarina of Time (1.14m) and A Link to the Past (1.16m) before it beats FFXV.

Japan was the discussion. Shipments was 1mil last year. Its around 1.05mil sold retail add digital and ffxv didnt ship much more and its around 1.3mil roughly. BotW is over 1mil now in japan easily.

 

WW BotW will be over FFXV by years end too.
