Europe and the US were able to see stock shortages on Nintendo Switch as early as April due to an outbreak of coronavirus, the new report said.
In accordance with Bloomberg, citing "people with knowledge of the [Nintendo & # 39; s] supply chain" as its source, the company "may" be struggling to keep up with the demands of Turnch's stock in western markets. It is noted that limited exports from China have an impact on the Nintendo assembly line factory in Vietnam – a factory used for economic formation in the US.
Nintendo acknowledged that the coronavirus had impacted Chinese production in Japan late last month, but they reintroduced those to North America and Europe the following week. At the time, the company said that it "does not expect to have a significant impact on the worldwide supply of services and programs", and that "product sales in North America and Europe, including borders, are not affected".
Specifically, the virus has impacted on the production and sale of the Animal Crossing-themed switch in Japan, and has also prompted the Division Division to delay the release of The Outer Worlds on Nintendo's platform.
