Nintendo expects to sell fewer copies of Switch next year, Nintendo expects to sell a lot fewer Switch consoles this year than last year, the Japanese game console company reported Tuesday morning at the announcement of its annual figures.
Nintendo was able to make fewer game consoles in the past year due to the persistent chip shortage. That is why the expectation has already been adjusted downwards from 24 million to 23 million copies sold. That goal was narrowly achieved with 23.06 million copies. In the current year, Nintendo expects to sell 21 million Switch consoles.
