Nintendo aims to offset skyrocketing memory prices through "mass production of Nintendo Switch 2," because if more people own the console, it can "greatly expand software sales" instead

Nintendo has confirmed it aims to tackle the ongoing memory shortage through mass production of Switch 2 units.

The ongoing memory shortage has been a hot topic in the tech world as RAM prices are ballooning thanks to AI garbage ruining everything it touches. This has already caused Valve to revisit Steam Machine pricing and release timing due to shortages, while both Sony and Nintendo have had to acknowledge the chances of this causing price hikes for their consoles in the near future (although neither are planning on price increases right now).
