Editor s note:

Considering that Japan has always been a strong territory for Nintendo, it is rare to see that Switch Oled did not sell as much as expected. However, this console is arriving at a difficult time for all companies, since manufacturing and distributing some hardware piece is complicated. Similarly, many people already have a type of switch, so giving another leap may not be as attractive at the moment.
