Nintendo is cutting Switch 2 production to 4 million units for the current quarter. This represents a one-third reduction from the initial target of 6 million units. The company cited weaker-than-expected sales during the year-end holiday season for the decision.
Demand for the $450 console proved particularly sluggish in the U.S. market. The reduced output rate is expected to continue through April. While the device had a strong debut, the cut signals difficulty in maintaining long-term sales momentum.
