Nintendo Switch stock selling far faster than company expected, with production set to double

Nintendo is doubling production of the Nintendo Switch, as fans struggle to buy the consoles weeks after it was launched. The console originally launched at the beginning of this month. But even on that release date, it wasn't really possible to buy it – all the pre-orders had been snapped up in advance and people were left waiting for weeks. That trend has continued in the weeks since, with consoles occasionally arriving on retailers like Argos and the Nintendo official store but quickly being bought. Even big websites like Amazon don't have much stock, leaving people waiting until the end of the month.
