Well, I cant really said that isnt true, but at the same time I cant really blame Nintendo, after they came off of the Wii U.By all recors, its still selling great, even if you compare it to the PS4 and XOne if you allign their launches.Its just its frustrating that its this hard to find a Switch when you want to buy one.

And I mean, lets say that when holiday comes and they sell 5 millions unit there, but demand was not yet met, is it really Nintendo fault that they didnt antecipate such a demand?

But yeah, hopefully they fix this issue soon.It wont be good for them in the long run

Yes, if the company isn't confident in their product or if they don't read the market right it's their fault.

Sony is still facing supply issues on PS4Pro and they admitted they mispredicted it. That is their sole fault.

As I said, it is their fault, but I personally cant blame them after the disaster they had with the Wii U.Betwenn under and overproducing, from a bussiness point of view its better to be safe than sorry.

Same with the PS4 at their launch.Cant blame them making less hardware than the actual demand was after the financial disaster that the PS3 was.

 That is their sole fault.

A response to that allegation just in!!!

There you have it folks. Don isn't to be trusted!

Plenty more caveats to go around: no major releases for PS4 in May but Switch didn't have any either. PS4 has no manufacturing issues as far as I know and has big bundles out while the Switch is encountering shortages. In Amazon, it's selling decently at a $400 price assuming Amazon algorithms work the way I think they work... Keep in mind no game comes bundled in this $400 box.

And here I thought asking for $300 might have been $50 too much. It's selling decently at $400...

PS4Pro is on restraints on supply as well, and it launched earlier than Switch.

Yeah, in a sold out situation this amounts to units in transfer. This amounts to:

1. manufacturing to shippign harbor

2. container ship from China to US or europe

3. from harbor to the stores

As the big manufacturers are working mostly for export, I assume they have optimized step 1. I assume less than 3 days. Say three days as top estimate.

Step 2 takes around 50 days from China to eruope through the suez-canal if they stop in harbors on the way. Gets a lot faster if the ship travels directly to eruope (as I read down to 12 days). But a container ship with much freight probably stops at every possibility to change freight. To america I read something around 30 days.

Step 3 should be below a week. As goods in a warehouse are losing money, everyone is interested to bring it to destination as fast as possible.

So overall, we should have one or two months of units sitting in the distribution chain. This changes though, if the item is no longer sold out and sitting on shelves.

So, I would assume around 1 million units are stuck in transfer. Remember though, these units are sold in the next quarter to customers but don't add to shipped that quarter.
