I could have been mistaken about Swich, but I have one theory left.

It has been over 2 months since switch released. It is still going strong. I didn't expect this. I figured that the Nintendo fanatics would have gotten their systems and sales would be slowing down. It actually seems to have increased! This doesn't make much sense to me since it is underpowered, very expensive--not counting the outrageous scalper prices of $410+ on Amazon--, and there are few games. 

I have only one explanation other than just misreading the whole thing. The explanation is this: artificial demand. Nintendo was said to have done this with Wii. After 2 months it seems Nintendo (a multi billion dollar company) would have the Switch production problem fixed. They should be widely available. Maybe they saw that this worked for Wii and they are using this strategy to create artificial demand for Switch. Many ppl want what they can't have. Could this be the answer? Please let me know your opinions in the comments.

I think this artificial demand thing is a fallacy. People wanted a wii,so bought 1. People want a switch so are buying 1. No conspiracies here. Just 2 popular products. Sure, Nintendo have upped production but i've heard it will take months forit to fully take effect. As for the wii, it was so popular it took Nintendo literally years to catch up with demand. By holding stock back, Nintendo would risk actually losing sales imo.
