“Work is starting to resume around [China], but we are experiencing a slower return to normal conditions than we had anticipated,” Apple said in a statement to GameSpot sister site CNET. “As a result, we do not expect to meet the revenue guidance we provided for the March quarter.”

The Coronavirus is impacting demand for the iPhone from Chinese customers and the company’s ability to produce the phones, which is why it’s projecting revenue to decrease.

“Worldwide iPhone supply will be temporarily constrained,” Apple said. “While our iPhone manufacturing partner sites are located outside the Hubei province–and while all of these facilities have reopened–they are ramping up more slowly than we had anticipated.”

The Coronavirus, which has killed more than 1,600 people in China alone, may also lead to Nintendo Switch shortages. It remains to be seen if the PS4 and Xbox One, and the PS5 and Xbox Series X, will face production issues as a result of the Coronavirus.

In other games news, Obsidian’s celebrated RPG The Outer Worlds has been delayed for Nintendo Switch because of the Coronavirus.
