Stock issues. Same reason PS4 had some hiccups early on. Console manufacturers are generally more conservative than people think, except for Microsoft. They manufacture around what they feel is a healthy launch quantity and adjust as necessary. Attempting to immediately stuff the channels can backfire spectacularly if the device fails to catch on.
And with the Wii, Nintendo was extra cautious cause they just came off the GameCube.
Similar thing now with the Switch, but unlike the Wii, they are having a hard time upping production due to the NAND component shortage that set in early this year.
