Nikkei NewsIt is pointed out that Nintendo plans to reduce the size of the Nintendo Switch console box by 20%, thereby reducing the space occupied by the original box size, allowing the original shipping space to accommodate more Nintendo Switches, thereby increasing the amount of cargo in a single shipment.
Of course, if we compare this to the current practice of Apple, Samsung and other companies that significantly reduce the size of the box by removing the original headphones and charging accessories, it is clear that Nintendo can also reduce carbon emissions in the overall shipping process.
But the main reason behind Nintendo's move is to reduce the cost of shipping goods, thereby offsetting the costs currently incurred due to parts shortages, inflation, etc., and also achieving the previously statedNo price increase for hostingcommitment.
On the other hand, by reducing the size of the console box and increasing the volume of single shipments, Nintendo can actually speed up the transportation of goods to all parts of the world and allow the Nintendo Switch to be sold in more channels.
Nintendo has already used a smaller packaging design for the Nintendo Switch OLED model in the past. This time, the adjustment is mainly for the box size of the standard version of the Nintendo Switch. Earlier, it also reduced the size of the original box of the Nintendo 3DS, thereby increasing the single delivery volume of goods and reducing overall delivery costs.
