Unless you’re an essential worker, the way that you can best serve your community and the rest of the planet is by staying inside, lowering your risk of becoming infected with the novel coronavirus or infecting someone else. As many of us have discovered, this is easier said than done, and now all of our houses and apartments are starting to feel like prisons. As a result, finding escapes inside those prisons has been vital, be it a bingeable TV show, a long book, or a video game. This might explain the sudden shortage of Nintendo Switch consoles.
If you’ve been on the hunt for a Switch in recent weeks, you might have noticed that stores are either starting to run low or don’t have any stock remaining. With everyone stuck inside, it’s no surprise that demand for gaming consoles has grown, and one report suggests Nintendo is ramping up production to meet that demand.
