Topic: Switch shortage in Japan (OLED model)

Hello fellow nintendolifers.

Simple question here. Does the current shortage in Japan have anything to do with the global semiconductor shortage, or is it something else entirely? If it is a consequence of the semiconductor shortage, why is it not affecting Switch sales in Europe and America?

Also, do we know when Nintendo `thinks` they will resume selling units in Japan?

Thank you!

Thanks @CactusMan

It's true that on both Amazon US and Amazon Germany (taken as examples), the Switch with white Joy-Cons is not on sale. So the phenomenon is global, more or less. I wish we knew what the exact cause was.
