Nintendo Coronavirus Hinders Switch Production

[cm2]

Read from Siliconera:

Nintendo President, Shuntaro Furukawa, has commented on his growing concerns about the effect of the coronavirus on the production of the Nintendo Switch console.

The emergency is “beginning to have more or less an impact on production.” Switch production is largely in China, although some moved over from China to Vietnam in Summer 2019. Furukawa also said that “prolonged problems will affect the product delivery plans”.

Nintendo shares dropped 3.55% on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on January 31, 2020 to close at a three-month low. This comes just a day after Nintendo released their impressive Nine Months Earnings Release.

Hopefully, Nintendo finds a way to improve Switch production numbers during Coronavirus outbreak.

Well, this is not surprising at all, to be honest.

Honestly, I wouldn't want to handle anything from China at the moment, which makes up most of USA products...

I feel some people may avoid things from other countries around China because Chinese people with the virus may have escaped to those countries or traveled to near-by countries when they were infected.

Maybe it would be a good idea to buy used Chinese products which were made before Coronavirus outbreak.
