Availability (Gaming)

Why the scarcity?
I get that demand is high, and we are in a global pandemic.
Is this intended: did MS and Sony limit initial runs to increase demand?
Or unintended: did MS and Sony underestimate demand?
Does it really take so long to produce units?
Are MS and Sony blaming lack of supply on COVID-19?
Genuine questions for anyone who knows more about this than I. I’m just trying to make a purchase, but no one wants my money!
