Nintendo Switch production set to skyrocket ahead of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Nintendo is reportedly increasing production of the Nintendo Switch ahead of the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Several sources close to the big N have said the company is increasing production of the Nintendo Switch in their next fiscal year (from April), according to a report from Bloomberg. Nintendo is said to have increased production despite the console being almost six years old, ahead of the launch of what is likely to be one of this year's biggest games, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom, which is set for release on May 12, 2023.

The Breath of the Wild sequel could also be the next game to headline a Switch OLED special edition if leaked images released earlier this month are to be believed (they're probably not). The other reason cited for the increase in production is that the semiconductor shortage has reportedly come to an end.
