Nintendo forecasts decline in Switch sales, warns of chip uncertainty

The Hindu  

Japan's Nintendo Co Ltd on Thursday forecast annual Switch console sales to fall 11.5%, in what would be the first decline for the five-year-old device after riding a pandemic-induced boom in home gaming. Last week, the share price of rival Sony Group Corp fell after the firm said the chip shortage would likely prevent it from drastically boosting console production. Last May, in the midst of booming gaming sales globally, Nintendo said Switch hardware and software sales would undershoot the previous year. Nintendo is "lowballing" with its forecasts, said Serkan Toto, founder of game industry consultancy Kantan Games, who expects Switch hardware sales of 25-30 million units and software sales of 250 million units.
