3DS rarely had shortages, and if you have 6 revisions of course that can be some shortages of some revision, Amiibos and Mini NES/SNES are not main products of Nintendo.

You sure about that? I saw alot of articles tallking about 3DS shortages. It doesn't matter if they main products or not, they're perfect examples of nintendo doing that. Why wouldn't nintendo use that practice with their consoles as well. 

Yes I am sure, most important is that 3DS didn't had any stock issues on launch and in 1st year, while some revision had some stock issues in some point, but that's not really strange because 3DS had 6 revision. Of Course It does matter, Amiibo and NES/SNES Mini are not main products for Nintendo and they are not priority for them and they dont care about them like they care about DS/Wii/WiiU/3DS/Switch which are priority for them of course, Nintendo even admitted that NES Mini from start was intended to be just holiday console, same can be expect for SNES Mini. At end like I wrote, If we talk about their main products, last few generation they had shortages only with Wii and Switch, and both were selling better than was expected.
