The Nintendo Switch console is dropping in sales in Japan as stocks are starting to wind down. The Switch suffered a massive drop in sales in its second week on the market. But analysts say it might pick up again once the unit stocks are replenished. 

In a previous statement, Nintendo admitted that it has not yet reached the stage of full blast production. Addressing the issue of stock problems, it confirmed that the Nintendo Switch is still limited. Fans may have to wait a bit longer to get their Nintendo Switch units.

Despite the drop in sales, Nintendo Switch made an exceptional record when it launched the Switch in Japan. According to Attack of the Fanboy, it sold over 330,637 consoles on its debut in Japan, a larger number compared to when the Wii U was launched. However, it was a little behind compared to the Nintendo 3DS.

In other news, it looks like Nintendo has found a way to stock up on the Nintendo Switch. According to the Independent UK, the Nintendo website has recently featured new stock of the Switch as well as Argos. But other than that, it looks e-commerce platforms are having trouble getting a hand on the Nintendo Switch. Amazon is offering third party Switch consoles, but they come with a very high tag price.
