Earlier this month Nintendo announced a year-on-year decline in sales figures. switch. The Japanese corporation attributed the situation to a shortage of chips, which caused a decline in hardware shipments and a subsequent impact on the console’s marketing. However, they are already working on a plan of sorts to keep the device affordable in the face of what is usually the strongest sales period of the year.
As published Nikkei (by using VGK), Nintendo plans to increase Switch shipments by reducing packaging. Basically, the report mentions that the Asian company will reduce the size of the console box by 20%compared with package Current.
If you’re still wondering how this decision will affect console availability, the answer is simple. Nintendo’s goal would have been to make Switch transportation more efficient; therefore, if the crates were smaller, they could move more console units using the logistics they already have today..
So far, the company has not confirmed or denied this information. Report Nikkei indicates that the measure will come into effect from August this month, so if the data is correct, very soon we will start seeing smaller packaging Nintendo Switch in all parts of the world.
Nintendo Switch will cut down on packaging to increase availability and increase sales.
Alleged packaging changes aimed at optimizing the global availability of the Nintendo Switch are not unreasonable. If we return to the report on financial results of the last financial quarter, then the Japanese company I already hinted at something related to this.
“In preparation for the holiday season, we will use appropriate shipping methods and strive to deliver as many Nintendo Switch systems as possible to consumers in each region,” the report says. The phrase was somewhat vague, it’s true, but now it takes on a more concrete meaning, knowing the data provided Nikkei.
Undoubtedly, the house of Mario Bros plays an important role at the end of the year to boost the sales of its main product. As a reminder, during the first quarter of the current financial year, which ends in March 2023, 3.43 million Nintendo Switch has been sold.. This meant a drop of almost 23% compared to 4.45 million in the same period the previous year.
Of those 3.43 million, just over 44% came from marketing the OLED version (1.52 million). The rest of the sales were split between the standard version (1.32 million) and the Nintendo Switch Lite (590,000).
In any case, in addition to aiming for the Christmas season, Nintendo has other additional plans. For example, a special version of Switch OLED will hit the market on August 26 to celebrate the launch of Platoon 3.
