You just confirmed my point: they ship what they can. And obviously they prepare better simply bc they know demand for launch will be high bc it's on a holiday. 

most of the time they rush the holiday launch, and are not really prepared at all. wii, 360, and ps2,  switch had more stock then those consoles during none holiday periods, ps3 couldn't launch in europe during the holidays because of stock problems. so everything points to being more prepared as being false.

Wii was unprepared simply because Nintendo never expected it to be that successful in the first place. 360 didn't do very well on its first years anyway. And I honestly don't know it went down with PS2, but it's so old that I don't know if its launch is comparable to anything new. Demand is always higher on holidays, be it a launch period or not, so there's nothing that points towards the opposite really.

But fair enough... how about comparing both Switch's and PS4's first 12 months and also first 14 months? If that makes more sense to you guys, so be it. It's fair from all point of views, I guess.
