To be fair, this really does mean nothing. With such a low supply it's natural to sell out fast. Nintendo should've waited with the release for a few months. Nobody should be praising sold out stock. We should be condemning Nintendo's shitty management which will cause many gamers to not get one at launch. That is entirely on Nintendo.

What low supply? The PS4 sold 2.1 million units in its first month. Nintendo has an initial shipment of 2 million, with an additional 1 million units in reserve. 

No it didn't, it sold it in much less time.

PS4 sold 2.1 Million Units with:

15 Days in USA

2 Days in EU

0 Days in JPN

 

That's very different to a global launch, with 2 million for 27 days in all regions.

2 Million for a global launch month is not good.
