The semiconductor shortage that is affecting everything from computers to car production has also affected game console production. According to Nintendo, it doesn't have issues right now with making new consoles, but that could change as we move further into 2021.

In an interview with Nikkei (via VGC), Nintendo CEO Shuntaro Furukawa said that while the company has the materials it needs for "immediate production of semiconductors" necessary for Nintendo Switch units, that could change later.

"However, in Japan and other countries, demand has been very strong since the beginning of the year, and there is a possibility of shortages at some retailers in the future," Furukawa added.
