Nintendo set to double Switch production

According to a report in the Wall Street Journal Nintendo is doubling down on Switch production.

The report says Nintendo now plans to make twice as many Switch consoles in the next financial year. The original plan was to manufacture 8 million consoles, now that’s said to be 16 million. The Switch has broken the record for best Nintendo launch of a console in America Europe, and here in Australia and New Zealand, they’re off to a good start.

This new 16 million figure wouldn’t include the 2 million they plan to sell this financial year which finishes at the end of March. If Nintendo ended up selling that many units, it would be it above the Wii. It’s an extremely positive forecast. Can they do it? Let us know what you think in the comments.
