For less discerning shoppers a cheap tablet or a PS4 will fill in just fine, especially if its a parent buying for their kid. A lot of people if they can't get what they wanted will buy a substitute instead of going home empty handed and trying again later.

There is reason why Switch is popular and why people are buying, and like wrote cheap tablet or PS4 cant be replace for Switch (hybrid hardware), Zelda BotW, MK8D and local multiplayer (at home or at go) right out of box. But yes there is for instance case when parrent is buying present for birthday for kid, in that case if they cant find Switch they will buy something else, but if parent or kid really like Switch, they will bought it later in some other occasion. Like I wrote, its not like Switch is 1st console that has stock shortages, Wii and PS4 also had them.

But not everyone who can't get one will wait. Many will buy something else instead. Or if they want it enough, they'll get one from a scalper. Either way, its Nintendo's loss.
