Capcom pretty much has to be making Monster Hunter 5 Portable for Switch in any case. The highest selling console version of MH has sold about 1 million in Japan and those were on two consoles that sold more than PS4 (PS2 and Wii), so MHW will be about the same as that in Japan.
The portable versions can peak at 4 million ... there's no way Capcom is dumb enough to overlook that. You can see how easily Switch can outsell the PS4 in Japan with stock.
As for Nintendo's crazy supply chain, it's pretty much typical Nintendo. They'll always address mistakes they made in the last generation, but make new ones in the process. They should have had back up suppliers for common parts ready. So this time they got a good launch window lineup but cut the legs off of it some what but not having adequete supply. Apple sells more in a quarter than Nintendo (or Sony) often do in a year, it was dumb to think that wouldn't be an issue, they should have had a contingency for components, it's not like every other tablet maker in the world doesn't manage some how.
