This is the company that is notorious for understocked their products to create artificial demand. Anybody thinking that they won't understock their first set of preorders is kidding them selfs. 

 

PS4 sold 1 million in less than 24 hours in the USA alone. No way where they understocking it. They sold every unit they could make

The PS4 sold out of preorders several times before its launch. That's because retailers halt preorders when they have yet to secure a bigger allocation of the product. This process works in steps. Nothing different is happening with Switch at this point.

And people really need to be less biased in these things. When Nintendo sells out, it's quickly said that it's low stock to create artificial demand. But when Sony sells out, it's because the product is amazing and everything that could be made is selling.

After its launch month, we will know for sure. But I wouln't defend Nintendo on this one. Given how widespread the criticism has become, even if unfair, should still preasure Nintendo into making sure the stock is there.
