Users intent on grabbing Nintendo Switch they may be forced to keep an eye on stocks in the near future, as a recent report revealed that the supply of the hybrid console could drop again by the end of the year making it nowhere to be found. An interview with the CEO of Nintendo, Shuntaro Furukawa, reveals that although the company is able to meet the demand for consoles for the foreseeable future, this could all change and supplies could be limited.
For some time now it has begun to make itself felt lack of hardware components: PC gamers who are currently looking for a new GPU for updates have most likely resigned themselves to waiting. With companies of the caliber of NVIDIA which could reintroduce older hardware on the market to keep things moving, even fans of PlayStation e Xbox they can empathize with mouse and keyboard users. On the other hand though, Switch fans may have felt some relief that their chosen system didn't suffer from such low supplies; at least so far.
Low supplies are likely to be caused by shortage of semiconductors, a key component used in the manufacture of a variety of major electronic devices, including video game consoles. With worrying news like last month's (detailed in this article), which saw the stock of PlayStation 5 slow down further, the situation does not seem promising for players, regardless of the system they usually play on.
It is worth reiterating, however, that Nintendo currently seems to have the necessary for the immediate production, and that therefore Nintendo Switch will not be impossible to find in the immediate future. The company is just unsure how it will fare in the future, should semiconductor supplies not increase from now. Recent problems, such as those related to the home console Sony, are probably partly caused by the pandemic COVID-19 where billions of people around the world have been confined to their homes.
