so is the chip shortage hitting MS and Sony way worse than Nintendo due to the difference in the nature of hardware (i.e. PC vs Mobile) ?

Yes, and also quantity of parts used. The Xboxes and PlayStation both use more ram that is also more expensive, they both use much more expensive storage solutions, the both require more robust cooling solutions, and also don’t underrate how much more the per unit shipping cost is because of how much larger the physical boxes are. 

This for sure. I've never actually seen a PS5 box because, y'know, no stock ever, but just eyeballing the showroom model I've seen suggests that you can easily ship 5 or more Switch units for every PS5.
