There were worries that the Switch sales may have tapered off after the initial launch hype, but it was discovered that Nintendo was suffering from shortages due to Apple commandeering some necessary parts from manufacturers for their own iPhone line. Now, we learn that after the manufacturing shortage has been resolved, the Switch has gone back to dominating the hardware sales… for now.
The real test will be both August and September, where the software well runs dry, and no big first-party exclusives will be released. Nintendo’s September fate will be in the hands of Ubisoft’s मारियो + खरगोश: किंगडम बैटल.
