Yes we already know about Nintendo difficult in estimating the demand. They make gross mistakes on determining demand for high or low all the time since Wii at least (2 to 3 years to have supply meet demand), 3DS and WiiU that they projected sales way higher than the demand and now on Switch that they are underestimating. And the worse part is not only that they are bad at predicting their demand, but that they are very slow in correcting the estimates and supplying accordingly.
