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.

Yes, but fact is also that Switch was launched outside holiday season in March, obviously it's much more easier to sell product in holiday season compared to March. There is reason why consoles sales have incredible boost in holiday season compared to rest of year.
