Lol, coming from man that refuse evre posibilete for things that are not even ofical and talking like evrething is set in stone. :D    Just for record, Nintendo never didnt said they couldn't produce more than 2m for Switch launch, just that initial plan was to prepare 2m for launch and that they later had problem to incrase taht nubmer. And yes, they could work to prepare more units for launch if launch was during holiday season if that was plan from start, but we know from start that plan for Switch launch in march was to ship 2m units.

Like usualy you missing point, and point is simple Nintendo would aim to prepare more units for launch if launch is during holiday season, they from start were preparing only 2m consoles for Switch launch because they launch console in March not during Holiday season, but problem was that console were selling better than they thought and soon they had stock problems.

Yes I'll deny any possibility of a company throwing away money for no good reason. For they to have 4M available at launch they would have to postpone launch for some months and incur in unecessary cost. And again as Intrisic have put no company have done this, but for some reason Nintendo that couldn't produce enough to meet demand because of part constraint would do it just to win your argument.

I gave you good and logical possibilities why that maybe would make sense, and why thats not throwing away money, you ignoried all that and you were acting like evrething was set in stone, lol. Again, you dont know that, if plan from start would be holiday season launch and around 4m prepared consoles from launch. Again, Nintendo never didnt said they couldn't produce more than 2m for Switch launch, just that initial plan was to prepare 2m for launch and that they later had problem to increase that number, but if initial plan was to have bigger number stock for launch they could probably prepare more. Stock problem after launch is different thing, because maybe they had plan  to produce around 500k per month and they needed much more than that beacuse console was selling better than 500k and and factories couldn't start producing much more than that so soon.
