Nintendo really underestimated the Switch, shortages have been worse than the Wii era.

If the Switch is still scarce two years from now, then you can say that.

Yup. The wii craze was real. Gamers and non gamers well over it. Most of my gamer and not gamer friends haven't even heard of it. I seriously doubt it will be a similar phenomenon. The wii was the only console I can think of that had such shortages that stores (HMV, GAME, GAMESTATION, etc) would put signs outside saying "Wii now back in stock!!!!".
