#2As the article alludes to this is in large part due to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Which has a higher than 100% attach rate on the Switch, which is simply amazing.

#3I'd argue this statistic is easy to manufacture when Nintendo console sales are generally artificially limited by their production rate.
Is it that the Switch is the most immediately desirable system in Nintendo's history, or just that it's the most quickly produced one in history?

If you are not interested in Zelda though, there is almost zero reason to spend the money on a Switch right now.

One potential reason for that (apart from the one mentioned in the article): people who went ahead and purchased the game, but can't find a system yet. I know more than one person in that position.

Even if the headline was "Switch is the fastest produced console in Nintendo's history" it'd still be a headline. As you mentioned, they're notorious for slow production of their systems.

There are a couple of very nice third-party games available on the switch now too (Snipperclips are great!) and the updated Mario Cart is just a week away. But indeed, Zelda would be the main reason to get one right now.

This is the boat I'm in. BOTW is the only triple-A game on the platform right now. Even their eshop has a dearth of content available, much of it ridiculously overpriced.

Possibly it's that the last Wii was such a dumpster fire, and people are desperate for a Nintendo console that is close to modern capabilities.

I'd argue that manufacturing millions of game consoles is far from easy.
