Actually the shortages for PS4/XOne in 2013 were huge, much bigger than Switch shortages now.
And PS4/XOne launched simultaneously so they were competing directly against each other unlike Switch which had no big launch competition.

Yes that's correct, the switch had all the attention alone for it's launch. Can't imagine how much the ps4 or xone would have sold without the other console.

the funny thing is, like Rol mentioned, a few months ago the general consensus was that Switch would be "dead on arrival" because it cost the same as PS4/XBO with no game bundled and didnt have the big Q1 AAA 3rd party titles like Resident Evil, Mass Effect, Ghost Recon, etc.

now many of these same people are coming up with any excuse they can think of to make the successful launch window not seem impressive.
