For Why Switch is not selling well in 2023, Nintendo claims that this is mainly due to a lack of semiconductors and other component supplies, which seems to have affected hardware production until around the end of the season. Summer. Software sales also fell a total of 7%, and Nintendo attributes this in part to a drop in hardware sales. Also, you know, it’s a six year old console!
It’s still a remarkable achievement for Nintendo, and we wonder how close the Switch will get to the Nintendo DS over the next few years.
