Nintendo Switch output to be boosted as console out of stock across world

Nintendo is looking to increase output of its Switch console as supply runs out across the world. The company has been hit by a stock shortage just as people across the world turn to consoles to keep themselves entertained during lockdown. Stores around the world have been out of stock and prices for the consoles have continued to climb amid strong demand and limited supply. Now the Japanese developer is looking to produce about 10 per cent more units of the console in 2020, according to a new report from Nikkei, up from around 20 million last year. That is despite the console now being more than three years old.
