This news coming on the back of the Switch 2 sales suffering is certainly one of the decisions of all time.

    Nintendo Switch 2 Production Cut 33% Following Weak Holiday Sales, Report Claims

    Nintendo has reportedly cut back on manufacturing Switch 2 consoles following weaker than expected holiday sales for the console.

    That's according to Bloomberg, whose sources say Nintendo now expects to make 4 million Switch 2 units this quarter, down 33% on the 6 million it previously planned to manufacture.

    Nintendo recently confirmed it had sold fewer Switch 2 consoles internationally over the holiday period than it had once hoped, particularly in the U.S. — though the impact of this had also been dulled somewhat by stronger sales in its homeland of Japan.

    I know the topic is prices increasing due to scarcity of parts, but Nintendo should have expected exactly that outcome when they started subsidising the Japan-only consoles with higher prices elsewhere...
