Also can you use the quote button? Most times I don't really know who you are referring to with your posts, it's a little confusing.

Problem for that theory is that Multilayer Ceramic capacitors are also in the XBO and the Switch, so shouldn't they have the same problems, too?

In theory, yes.  But I think it would also depend on what kind of contracts they all have with the suppliers for these parts.

For example, we all know that Nintendo is planning to have 20m Switchs ensambled for this fiscal year so they probably ordered the parts needed for that amount, while Sony was forecasting only 16m, which means they problably "under-ordered" and now they cannot get the parts needed to ensamble more units because MS and Nintendo already have them.

But you know, this is all speculation on my part.
