Nintendo always does this with their stock. That excuse is getting old. Either way Sony is still doing great with all the new system Switch buzz. Stevie Wondet can see that lol |
Switch isn't an instance of that, though; they just legitimately are having trouble maintaining a supply. Their launch was the strongest they've ever had in the US and Europe, and it's doing surprisingly well in Japan as well. It was actually the 2nd strongest hardware launch in the US since 1995 in regard to total sales.
With the Amiibo also selling and their continued support of the 3DS line, I'm not really surprised that they're having trouble meeting demand. As was mentioned a week or so ago, Nintendo actually paid to have many consoles flown across the Pacific to increase supply (which reduces profits on those consoles to almost nil), so clearly they aren't trying to make the Switch intentionally scarce.
