“The supply of chips will remain very tight until at least September next year,” said Takeshi Kamebuchi, a director in charge of semiconductors at one of the company’s units. Nintendo Co’s Switch production has not been sufficient to serve customer demand, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said. The company intends to sell 25.5 million Switch units this fiscal year. Game console production is vulnerable to a lack of components. Some console customers have told the assembler that they might alter their circuit board design to reduce the required components, the person said.
