Even Xbox had shortage for 1 or 2 months. Switch didn't really outsold what PS4 sold on launch. So clearly there were space for both more supply and more demand. |
In 2017, Switch's first year, there were global shortages of mobile parts that Switch needed; since they make way more money than any gaming system, mobile phones got first dibs on those parts, so the supply issue wasn't something Nintendo could just click their fingers and fix.
