Nintendo shipped 1.7 million day 1. This is not just by far the biggest Nintendo launch shipment, but the biggest of any console in history, as it is nearly 60% ahead of the PS4's 1.07M units.

So, I don't know what to say. A gargantuan number were shipped day 1, and there have been shipments since at a rate of once every 2-3 days. They do sell out fast because it's this year's cabbage patch kid. But they are also shipping millions of these things.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
