I can believe Nintendo is having underproduction problems. It's called fixed costs: the production plant is basically a flat fee, so if they aren't selling that many units those flat fees can actually get pretty high when taken on a per console basis.

I still have a hard time seeing it be an issue in six months, though. Nintendo has a pretty strong holiday lineup for their system and it's the cheapest gen 8 console. I see them doing pretty well over Christmas.
