All I can say is that it's their product and their job to produce and distribute it.

Sure. The buck ultimately stops with them.

You could say that they're incompetent for not finding a way to manufacture more, but as the Wall Street Journal speculates, the only way might be to try and outbid for components which could mean selling at a loss.

So we have a situation in which you could either say they're incompetent for not outbidding Apple, or they're incompetent at making money on their flagship product.

I'd rather look at things more holistically and say that the situation just is what it is right now.

Your excuse doesn't work. You're forgetting that nintendo has had shortages with alot of their consoles and popular products for a very long time. Either Nintendo is the most incompetent company ever when it comes to producing enough of their products to meet demand or they're doing it on purpose in a controlled manner. Neither Sony or MS have these problems with shortages at this level the vast majority of the time.
