It also shows that the problem of being unable to meet market demand due to shortages of semiconductor components in the past has been solved. He also emphasized that even if there is a shortage of components, it will not significantly affect the production of subsequent models. Therefore, Nintendo will be able to focus more on avoiding price gouging when new machines are first launched.
However, whether Nintendo's relevant measures can successfully alleviate the market's price speculation when new consoles are launched remains to be seen.
