Again you missing point, point is that if any of those consoles had launch during March instead of Holiday season would have even less launch stocks because they are launching during slow months compared best performing months in whole year. So in Switch case, regardless how many units Switch sold on launch in March if launch was actually during holiday season, Nintendo would had initial plan from start to prepare more units for launch. When you preparing launch during Q1 and during holiday season, your plans want be same and you want prepare same amount of stock, because one launch has slow months and other has best performing months in hole year.

maybe they could have shipped more, but history shows that this isn't the case,so it's just an assumption on your part. most console launches are rushed and have shortages, they rush them for the holidays to make third party's happy, even if they don't have proper supply. ps4 had a million preorders nearly 4 months before launch, did sony make more units for november? no they didn't, it's just too much examples (most consoles launches with high demand) that show your point has no backing too it.

Again, fact is that holiday season incomparable stronger than March, April in any case, of course they wouldn't had same plan for launch during March and during November. Maybe Switch would again have shortages even during holiday season with bigger stocks, but point is that they would prepare more consoles for launch. Again, Nintendo said months before Switch launch they preparing to ship 2m consoles for launch, you can bet they plan would be to prepare around 4m if launch was in November instead of March.
