Nikkei reports that more Switch shipments are being delivered in North America and Europe. However, Japan is experiencing a steep decline in Switch shipments and shortages are rampant. In addition, the Japanese government announced a state of emergency in the country due to the coronavirus outbreak. This is a factor affecting Nintendo’s supply chain. Shortages and high mark-ups on Switch units have affected North America and Europe recently, but outlets like Best Buy and Amazon should get more stock soon. If you are looking to buy a Switch or Switch Lite at the appropriate MSRP, keep your eyes peeled for new stock.
