NVIDIA would likely be the first to admit that its GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3090 launches were problem prone.

Let's not kid ourselves, NVIDIA could delay the GeForce RTX 3070 launch by a month instead of two weeks, as it has done, and eager gamers will still gobble up every last bit of inventory as soon as they become available.
