Chip shortages have been reducing production since 2020, so if there were none, yes 2021 would have produced more, but so would 2020. I think that without chip shortages that Switch 2020 would have been a juggernaut no one will beat again.

I recall Switch hardware shortages being an issue during most of 2020, but I do not recall this being an issue during holiday 2020.  Do you have a source saying that Switch was in short supply during the holidays last year?  I did find an article that says Nintendo increased production by 20% last year to prepare for the holidays.  That makes it seem like there was enough Switch hardware available during the holidays last year.

I was comparing the full years, not specifically the holiday period.
