The Nintendo Switch is the biggest platform on the market right now. Even when compared to other next-gen systems like the PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S, the Switch still comes out on top. It has a larger fanbase, more consistent titles coming out in 1st party currently, and the system’s mobility has made it one of the most popular consoles to have in an “on the go” world. However, while the system is selling incredibly well, the worldwide semiconductor issue is causing supply problems for all systems. When you add that to the high demand for the Switch, that leads to problems.

For example, according to one insider, the supply of Nintendo Switch is very low compared to the demand in Japan. The need for the system has been going up ever since the arrival of Splatoon 3. If you recall, that game had one of the best launches in Japan’s history. The insider said that Nintendo has been struggling to meet the demand of gamers in the region.
