Nintendo Co. plans to produce about 24 million Switch consoles for the current fiscal year, about 20% less than originally planned, the Nikkei reported.
While demand for the new console is strong, the Kyoto-based company has struggled to get enough semiconductors to make the machines, the newspaper said. The company had originally planned to make about 30 million consoles, a record high, it said.
