WSJ: Nintendo now producing more powerful Switch console and a “a less-expensive model with a new look”

According to a new report by The Wall Street Journal, Nintendo is shifting a portion of Nintendo Switch console production from China to Southeast Asia to limit the impact of possible U.S. tariffs on Chinese-made electronics. The publication also states that Nintendo is in the process of producing two new Switch models; these apparently include a more powerful console and a “a less-expensive model with a new look.” Read on below for an excerpt from the WSJ article:

“People involved in the supply chain said production in Southeast Asia has started for the Switch, including the current type and the two new models, suggesting Nintendo is getting ready to introduce them soon. They didn’t give specific volume figures but said Nintendo wanted to have enough units to sell in the U.S., the largest market for videogame consoles, when the new products go on the market.”
