Guys, how long have you followed gaming news? This is normal for Nintendo, they create low stock on purpose. The more unavailable a product is the more desirable it becomes. If a product is too available, people will just wait to see price drops or sales. Its artificial demand.

The same will happen with the launch of ps5, sony will create shortages, to give the impression that its a very desirable product, buy it now before it goes is a very known tactic.

Show me one good piece of evidence that points towards these shortages being artificial. When you can’t, let’s go back to the real world and remember that china( where production of the switch takes place) was, and still is on shutdown 

The evidence is my own brain, Nintendo was producing 2 million switches per month, they are selling 1 million per month at the moment, even if some factories were closed, they still wouldn't have a shortage in just 1 month since the factories were closed. Not to mention the consoles in the shops would be already shipped before the closure of the factories.

Learn how to use your brain to think for yourself.

Also I just checked amazon uk and there are plenty of switches. There's no shortage at all, I feel its a great marketing campaign to make people want to grab them as quick as possible.
