Nintendo's initial yearly sales projection for Switch was ten million units
people weren't sure the Switch could hit that number in the first year, considering how poorly the Wii U did
Kimishima says they should have made more units, but at the time, selling 10 million in the first year seemed unbelievable
Nintendo had to increase projections to 14 million units a few months ago
customers in Japan and Europe in particular have had trouble purchasing the Switch
Nintendo was able to increase the production structure to deliver more units by the holiday season
unfortunately, this still wasn't enough even by the end of the year the company Nintendo entrusted with making units has also increased its production lines
since certain materials are needed, they went around and asked all kinds of part makers to somehow raise production
for the time being, as we enter the new year, the stock situation hasn't been completely solved
now in Japan, customers don't have to wait multiple days to get a unit, and can sometimes find them in stores
