This is a bit silly, but mostly for the Switch comparisons.
Yes, saying "preorders have run out" is a very easy way to project the outlook that a console is in great demand, without revealing actual numbers.
Keeping numbers vague is a strategy MS has employed time and again.
It doesn't work for Nintendo however, because after Switch supplies ran out they were quick to confirm how many were sold.
