Nintendo would have increased the production rate of its Switch

Faced with an exceptional demand, Nintendo has no choice but to increase factory production but faces a shortage of DRAM.

Will the Switch be the object of all envy at Christmas? Not if Nintendo can satisfy the very high demand, which could be the case if we believe the indiscretions harvested by DigiTimes.

The serious Chinese site claims that the Japanese manufacturer has increased production rates and is now able to release 2 million consoles a month from factories. This impressive figure could even be increased if Nintendo did not suffer from DRAM supply difficulties that would slow down the pace. It is also stated that the figure of 20 million machines distributed in 2017 could be reached.

Remember that Nintendo's official positions on sales in 2017 are still down to 10 million, but this score should forcefully be surpassed. The future blockbuster Super Mario Odyssey, of which you can find gameplay here, will be the locomotive of sales during the very strategic last quarter calendar.
