OSAKA/TOKYO -- Nintendo is struggling to break out of a frustrating sales slowdown, selling 33% fewer units of Switch game systems in the April-June quarter than a year ago in Japan due to a crippled supply chain.
Supply chain disruptions also slashed sales of rival Sony Group's PlayStation 5 consoles by 26% to about 200,000 units, spurring concerns that the companies risk missing out on a holiday-season opportunity at the end of the year.
