Coronavirus is being the subject of these weeks, causing a huge impact also in the economy in China. It was already feared that some companies would see production of their products interrupted. One of the products whose production is affected is the Nintendo Switch. The company has confirmed that there are production delays due to the coronavirus in China.
The production of the Nintendo Switch affected by the coronavirus
The company apologizes for these delays in production. They also comment that they are closely following its evolution, but it is not known when it will return to normal.
Delays in production
For now it seems that these delays in the production of the Nintendo Switch affect only the units produced in China and sold in Japan. So users in other countries should have nothing to worry about, at least for now. Since it is not known how the total production of the popular console will be affected due to the coronavirus.
The company has said that they will be attentive to the evolution of the situation. Therefore, there is likely to be more news shortly, on the state of production. This situation will most likely expand for a few weeks.
If production begins to affect Nintendo Switch units that are sold in other countries as well, the company could have problems, as its income would end up reducing significantly. Also, this problem comes now that a new edition with the colors of Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be released, although it seems that this release is maintained.
