Is Nintendo even trying to produce the Switch? I don't

It uses some of the same parts used in mobile phones. They're having trouble sourcing flash memory.

Probably some rare metal crucial to some component in the switch is in short supply at the moment.

They didn't expect it to be as popular as it was so they've been caught flatfooted.

They're fighting with Apple for the parts they need and they are trying not to over produce. They plan to produce 16 million though by next year

Ram and SSD prices skyrocketed so I wouldn't be surprised at stock issues

Foxconn doesn't have an unlimited amount of slaves and they like apple more than nintendo.
So switches aren't produced in favor of iphones.

>But what take them so long?
It takes months to increase production.

You sign supply deals for years ahead. They should have a projected amount of sales and a steady supply before they even started producing it. It only shows nintendo was very unsure of it's success if they have problems with parts supply now.

I'm not buying the 'it's flying off the shelves' explanation. There are no Switches outside of scalpers to buy in the UK. When one of the largest retailers Argos got some they got a total of 4 unit for the whole country.

well Nintendo probably doesn't stock that much in Europe to begin with because their stuff doesn't sell there

The bottleneck is still the raw material supply. They entered a market that has dozens of big name companies using the resources already. Even if they were able to secure a decent supply it would never be enough to feed the demand that has been seen.

1)Apple and Nintendo have dispute over one factory that produces components for both of them.Guess who has upper hand?

2)Nintendo had some QA problems.

I've never seen a switch in real life. I've never seen a switch out in the wild.
I've come to the conclusion that they don't actually exist like some red herring

this. what we have seen so far it's a very elaborate falseflag

Probably explains why their first run had units that were practically dead on arrival

I spent 9 hours in line to get one of two switches that were available on release day and the whole time I was thinking 'man I'm so retarded, I'd be able to walk into any target or whatever and grab one of these tomorrow morning'. I guess it worked out for me in the end! I'm still retarded for buying a system on launch though. Zelda rocked but now its just gathering dust, not falling for the arms meme. The system itself feels fantastic though, I like playing it more than my ps4, hopefully it has a strong library a couple years down the line.

That happens to all hardware you moron. It's just the most obvious on a first run because you're pumping one million devices out the door in a single day, and the Switch has more failure points so it makes for a better crowbcat video. There is no reason to believe that the Switch has a higher than normal failure rate.
