During Nintendo's recent shareholder meeting, president Shuntaro Furukawa addressed the issue of scalpers and their impact on the availability of new hardware. Nintendo aims to reduce scalping incidents by producing enough units to meet customer demand for the upcoming Switch successor. Furukawa reassured shareholders that the component shortage issues that have plagued the gaming industry in recent years are no longer affecting Nintendo. This is a positive development as shortages have hindered the availability of consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X. With a strong launch lineup of games and ample supply of the new console, Nintendo looks poised for a successful release. Gamers can hopefully look forward to getting their hands on the Switch successor without facing scarcity or inflated prices from scalpers.
