Unless you've been living under a rock for the last few weeks you'll no doubt be aware that Nintendo has found success with their new console Switch. In fact, it's selling faster than expected and as a result Nintendo will up production in the fiscal year starting April 1 from 8 million to 16 million, Wallstreet Journal reports. And even if the original number was a bit low compared to the number of PS4s Sony sell on an annual basis, the new number also comes across as fairly ambitious as it is more than Wii U managed to sell in four years.

It's great news if you're still struggling to find a Switch to buy, of course (even if stocks are available in most places now).
