First there is no any need for insults. Second, December like second month is a part of holiday season, third, clear fact is that consoles will sell much better during holiday season than any in other date in year in any case, that goes for launch also. Fact that Switch was sold out in march and april don't change that fact, point is simple, if launch was in holiday season and not in Q1 Nintendo would from start made plans to have bigger stocks for holiday season launch compared to march launch (where they actually initially prepared 2m for launch that led to huge stock problems). November and December are always most busiest months for almost any product, and that especially goes for consoles, there is a reason why consoles in most cases have launch in holiday season, because it's obvious they will have great sales and great launch in any case, even Wii U (thats worst selling Nintendo console ever) had good launch because holiday season and right after holiday season sales were catastrophic.

so were gonna keep ignoring the fact that almost every console that had high demand that launched during the holidays had massive shortages and couldn't keep up with demand?, are we gonna keep ignoring the fact that switch had more stock then most console launches did in the holidays? every one knows consoles sell better during the holidays, but when launching during the holidays and  they don't have enough supply,and most consoles didn't have near to cover demand, the holidays goes to waste, even wiiu was sold out for a bit during the holidays, and sales were pretty bad for a console launch, i think if it did great numbers, it would have diffidently been sold out the whole holidays , so there is  absolutely nothing pointing to having a huge supply during the holidays , when time and time again this hasn't been the case for console launches. heck nintedo forcast was only to ship 3 million during holiday launch WW for wiiu. that near what switch shipped during none holiday month.

Everything you wrote don't go against what I wrote and my point.

Again, point is simple, if launch was in holiday season and not in Q1 Nintendo would from start made plans to have bigger stocks for holiday season launch compared to march launch (where they actually initially prepared 2m for launch that led to huge stock problems) because they know March and April months are much slower months in any case compared to best performing months in year like November and December.
