Nintendo is reportedly boosting production of Switch consoles
The console giant is officially sticking to a shipment target of 10 million over the same period. However, numerous analysts believe the company is intentionally lowballing its goals. It might not want to promise the Moon and leave investors disappointed if there's either a production problem (say, not enough LCDs) or a surprise slump in demand.
If the figure is authentic, though, it suggests that Nintendo has had to keep raising its internal production figures as it realizes that the Switch is a bona fide hit. That's good news for gamers, as it both increases the chances of finding a Switch and encourages game developers to throw their weight behind the system. With that said, Nintendo also risks a problem it hasn't had to deal with for years: long-lasting shortages for its main console. We can think of far worse problems to have, but Nintendo probably doesn't want to risk leaving money on the table (and disappointing fans) if at all possible.

Makes sense, shit's selling out quicker than bread, nah but like Maj said it could be a huge success and they keep selling around Christmas time, or they bomb shell and no one buys them.
